Raveena Tandon Recalls How Aishwarya Rai Was Body-Shamed After Aaradhya's Birth: 'It's Her Decision...'
Raveena Tandon recalled how she stood up for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after Aaradhya's birth.

Raveena Tandon was one of the most popular actresses in the 90s. However, she took a break from acting after having her children. As Raveena is making waves across OTT, she recently opened up about the pressure on actresses to look perfect all the time. In a recent interview, Raveena recalled taking a stand for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan when the actress was body-shamed after Aaradhya’s birth. Raveena also mentioned that she was away from the limelight as she wanted to take her time to get back in shape.

Raveena told Barkha Dutt for Mojo Story, “I didn’t want to be camera-friendly at that time. It’s too much pressure. Those were the days where they’d body shame you. Do you remember how they got after Aishwarya when she didn’t lose her weight after the baby? I didn’t want that to happen to me, and that’s why I was completely out of the public eye. Hello, I want to nurse my children for as long as I can. I’m not thinking of going on a diet right now, I don’t want to work out.”

Raveena continued, “I remember I had written an open letter to the press during Aishwarya’s time. I stood by her. She was body-shamed for a very long time about not losing weight. I said, ‘It’s her decision, it’s her life, it’s her baby. It’s her decision when she wants to get back to work. So, let her be, let her take this break’. Because that’s exactly what I did. I wanted to eat everything under the sun, after being disciplined for all those years, living on local snacks and makhanas. I wanted to go crazy, and I did.”

Raveena Tandon will soon be seen in the third instalment of the Welcome franchise, Welcome to the Jungle, headlined by Akshay Kumar.
