Filmmaker and producer Soundarya Rajinikanth defended Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif against social media trolling over her postpartum weight gain following a Ganesh Chaturthi appearance.
Soundarya emphasized the physical difficulties of motherhood and pregnancy after age 35, stating that women deserve respect for the physiological changes their bodies undergo.
Actor Salman Khan also criticized the online body-shaming comments, noting that weight gain is natural after childbirth and that new mothers should be allowed personal time.
