Patralekhaa slams paparazzi for bodyshaming post-pregnancy weight gain

Patralekhaa slammed paparazzi pages for bodyshaming her post-childbirth weight gain. She explained it is a natural reaction to pregnancy while also producing films, and requested the paparazzi to learn to be a little kind.

Actress-producer Patralekhaa slammed the paprazzi pages for alleged bodyshaming against her after she gave birth to a girl with her husband and Bollywood star Rajkummar Rao.

Patralekhaa's Plea for Kindness

Taking to her Instagram handle, Patralekhaa addressed alleged comments from the paparazzi pages about her physical appearance following childbirth. She explained that her weight gain is a natural reaction to pregnancy, especially while managing work commitments like producing films. Titled Pap Pages, the actress wrote, "What's happened to me!? I have just given birth! Yes, I have gained weight, which seems like an unnatural phenomenon to you all. I have not sat and eaten a mountain; I just delivered a baby and produced two films simultaneously, which are not easy jobs. While requesting the kinder behaviour from the paps, the actress wrote, "If I could, I would not be this way. But that's how my body has reacted to pregnancy. For God's sake, please learn to be a little kind."

A New Chapter for the Couple

Bollywood star couple Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa were blessed with their first child, a baby girl, last year. In a joint post, the couple announced the news, celebrating their daughter's arrival on their fourth wedding anniversary, which was on November 15. "We are over the moon. God has blessed us with a baby girl. Blessed parents - Patralekhaa and Rajkummar," the note read.

In the caption, they described their daughter as God's "greatest blessing," expressing joy at entering a new chapter of their lives.

Professional and Personal Partnerships

RajKummar and Patralekhaa got married on November 15, 2021, in a close family ceremony in Chandigarh. They first worked together in the 2014 film Citylights, which was Patralekhaa's first Bollywood film.

Meanwhile, Patralekhaa, along with actor Rajkummar Rao, is also busy working as a producer. A few months ago, he and his wife Patralekhaa launched their own production house, KAMPA Film. The name KAMPA holds personal significance, as it combines the initials of their mothers' names, paying tribute to them.

"We've always believed in the power of storytelling," said Patralekhaa. (ANI)
