Social media is currently buzzing with viral photos and videos of Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu as she was recently spotted outside her gym. While some fans showed support, many others sadly focused only on her weight gain. Hurtful comments like “Moti”, “Bhains”, and “Bhaddi” flooded the comment sections, targeting her appearance instead of celebrating her journey as a new mother.
Bipasha Basu became a mother to her daughter Devi in November 2022, and like many women, she experienced changes in her body after childbirth. The actress, once known for her fit figure and bold roles in films like Jism and her sizzling dance number Beedi Jalaile from Omkara, is now being judged for gaining weight. But what people fail to understand is that post-pregnancy weight gain is completely natural.
In fact, many new mothers go through emotional ups and downs due to body changes after pregnancy. It can even lead to postpartum depression or anxiety, especially when there is added pressure from society to “bounce back” quickly. For someone like Bipasha, who was once called a glam diva, the pressure is even more intense.
But there’s more to her story than just gaining weight. Bipasha had earlier shared that her daughter Devi was born with two holes in her heart. She and her husband Karan Singh Grover were naturally heartbroken and went through a very emotional phase. During this time, Bipasha chose to focus completely on her baby’s health and well-being. She did what any mother would do—put her child first.
It’s sad that instead of supporting her, people are targeting her looks. Why are actresses always expected to look perfect all the time, even right after giving birth? Yes, they work in the glamor industry and once had fans going crazy over their looks. But at the end of the day, they are human too. They are women first—mothers, daughters, wives—and they deserve the time and space to heal and adjust after having a child.
Fat-shaming is not just about name-calling—it deeply affects a person’s mental health. It lowers self-esteem and can cause emotional pain. When people target someone like Bipasha Basu for not “looking the same,” they forget everything she’s been through as a mother. She is doing her best, taking care of her daughter, and slowly getting back to fitness on her own terms.
To Bipasha Basu: You are strong, beautiful, and most importantly, you are a mother. You’ve already proven your strength by standing tall through personal struggles and prioritizing what really matters—your family. You don’t need to meet anyone’s unrealistic beauty standards. Your journey inspires many women who are going through similar challenges.
Let’s stop judging mothers for how they look and start respecting them for who they are and what they go through. Bipasha Basu is not just a glamorous actress—she is a powerful woman and a loving mother, and she deserves our love and respect.
