Aishwarya Rai Bachchan talks about her weight gain

Our current issue that’s on stands right now has one of Hindi film industry’s most celebrated stars of all times – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Such is her mesmerizing beauty that no camera can ever do justice to those stunning aquamarine eyes and that world famous Venus face. She’s a goddess on our pages and she exudes a certain divinity every time the camera goes flash. And as exclusive as the photo spread, are her straight from the heart answers. In a candid chat with Editor Jitesh Pillaai, the actress has spoken vastly about motherhood, being the Bachchan bahu, her recently released comeback film and the complexities of being a celeb. 

And unabashed and full of fire, this is what she had to say about here post pregnancy weight gain hullabaloo.

“I didn’t over think the fact that I had put on weight. I didn’t do anything as expected of someone who came with all the adages as me. Model beauty, titleholder, glamorous, Cannes, brands... There’s a lot of glamour and a lot of visual that is attached to me. But I stayed committed to my reality. If my body did go through this change, so be it. I didn’t play into the stereotype of what is possible. It’s an individual choice if people decide to go under the knife. I had access to that but I chose not to. I was genuinely comfortable in my skin and I got recognition along the way. Women who met me publicly, thanked me for the fact that I was giving them strength to be comfortable with the natural change. Hormonally anything can happen to a woman, your body can go through change and it’s important to remain comfortable and not let it affect your psychologically.  My comfort and my conviction to just say true, in turn, gave strength to so many women. Suddenly, it’s okay to put on weight. It’s okay that your body changes physically from health reasons or otherwise and it’s okay to choose to dress the way you want to.’’
