Trolls Called Her Weight Loss ‘Unnatural,’ But Alia Bhatt’s Response Will Shut Them Down!

The Truth About Alia Bhatt's Post-Pregnancy Weight Loss: No Crash Diets or Extreme Workouts

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made a frank visit on the second episode of Amazon Prime’s chat show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle. In an open chat with hosts Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, 32-year-old Alia shared about her postpartum experience after giving birth to her daughter, Raha, in November 2022.

Alia disclosed that she put on a lot of weight when she was pregnant, as is the case for many new mothers. But she also disclosed that her body lost the excess kilos much quicker than anticipated. “Post-delivery, after giving birth to Raha, actually I gained quite a lot of weight. I was lactating, and lactation burns a lot of calories, and I was also consuming clean.”. So I lost a lot of the weight really fast,” she explained.

Breastfeeding, which is known to speed up calorie burning, contributed heavily to her weight loss. Coupled with a healthy and clean diet, Alia’s body underwent natural change to the new regime. But her rapid change after pregnancy was not ignored or uncriticized.

Alia addressed the trolling she encountered online after her photo went viral, in which she was pictured with her clearly skinnier body. Far from being showered with compliments or merely left undisturbed, she was subjected to unnecessary suspicion and criticism. “I recall there was this picture that came out and they were like ‘Oh my god,’ there were trolls, claiming she has done this through unnatural process.”. ‘Why did she lose weight so fast? It’s okay, relax, Alia.’ This I saw and I was like ‘Oh no, things happened this way naturally.’

She complained about being judged for something she could not control, stating that each woman’s postpartum recovery process is unique. The actress clarified that although others might take a while to get their pre-pregnancy figures back, others such as herself might make the transition faster because of personal reasons.
