When Raveena Tandon took a stand for herself and Aishwarya Rai when they were being fat-shamed | Hindi Movie News

Time and again, celebrities are often fat-shamed or called out on their weight and figure by public and media. Having said that, actress Raveena Tandon recalled a moment when she took a stand for Aishwarya Rai when she was getting called out for her weight gain after her daughter Aradhya’s birth.

Back in 2011, post-Aradhya’s birth, Raveena came forward in Aishwarya’s support and tweeted, “Everyone’s body type is different, if she’s taking time is OK. Its her space, its her obligation to her child first. Instead of some portions of the media, who decide what and when Ash should do with herself and her baby? shallow and double standards, wonder if they’d do the same?”

Recalling this time, Raveena shared in an interview, that she has also been victim of the same. She added that, there was a time when she had put on a lot of weight after she delivered her son. And immediately after that, she started working. There was a press conference and that time they were fat-shaming her, and Aishwarya Rai. Raveen then stood up for her at that time and said to the media she just had a baby.

Reportedly at the press conference, Raveena was asked why she has gained so much weight, since she used to be a big thing back then, to which she responded saying “my fat will go away but how will you change your face?’”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Raveena recently starred in KGF: Chapter 2 alongside Sanjay Dutt and Yash. Speaking about the kind of opportunities pan-India films offer to actors around the country, Raveena had told ETimes, “Today, cinema is being appreciated across borders. The language doesn’t matter anymore, what matters is the content. Now, fortunately, actors are being offered subjects keeping their maturity and talent in mind.”
