Pregnant Kajal Aggarwal takes on body shamers

ACTRESS Kajal Aggarwal who seems to be enjoying her first pregnancy with her husband Gautam Kitchlu, wrote a post slamming body shamers who commented on her pregnant look.

“I’ve been dealing with the most amazing new developments in my life, my body, my home and most importantly my workplace. Additionally, certain comments/body shaming messages/ memes don’t really help.

“Let’s learn to be kind and if that’s too hard, maybe just live and let live!” her Instagram post read.

“Here are a few of my thoughts for all those who are going through similar life situations and need to read this and most definitely the self-absorbed morons who just don’t seem to understand.”

“Hormonal changes cause our stomach and breasts to get larger as the baby grows and our body prepares for nursing. We may also be much more tired than usual and have mood swings more often. A negative mood may make us more likely to have unhealthy or negative thoughts about our bodies,” she said.

“Also, after giving birth, we may take a while to get back to the way we were before, or may never completely return to the way we looked before pregnancy. And that’s ok.”

Aggarwal said that there was no need to feel abnormal because of the changes that took place during pregnancy.

She advised pregnant women not to stress.

“We don’t need to fit in a box or a stereotype and we don’t need to be made uncomfortable or pressured during the most beautiful, miraculous and precious phase of our lives.

“We must remember that the whole process of birthing a little infant, is a celebration that we are privileged to experience,” the actress wrote. |
