Aishwarya Rai slammed the concept of size zero in Bollywood

Recently, we stumbled upon a video of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wherein she was seen slamming the concept of size zero. In a 2012 interview with NDTV, Aishwarya opened up about her weight gain and changed physical appearance she went through after her pregnancy. Slamming people for body shaming her, the actress said:

‘It doesn’t matter. This is reality. This is who I am. I am a mother, and this can happen, and it happened with me, and it’s fine. That’s life. I have never been the one who endorses size zero anyway. You guys speculated I was pregnant way before I was so many times. So this goes to show that I have lived the real life in the public eye.’

Soon after the video was shared on Reddit, netizens were quick to react to the same. One user wrote, “But size zero is unhealthy anyway. Kudos to Aishwarya. It was started by Kareena as far as I remember.” Another one commented, “That too for a yrf film that bombed, kya hold tha industry mein aditya bhai ka pure decade mein.” Meanwhile, a third user wrote, “Actors were so petty in 2000s.” Check out the comments below:
