EXCLUSIVE: Shweta Tiwari reveals she was scared of stretch marks during her first pregnancy

A body goes through several changes when a woman is pregnant, be it gaining extra kilos or stretch marks. Though some people accept it gracefully and flaunt it with panache, there are some who felt uncomfortable with those changes. One of them is actor Shweta Tiwari who once was very scared and uncomfortable with her stretch marks during her first pregnancy. Since today is women’s day, Bollywood Bubble got in touch with Shweta where she is talking about a couple of StreeReotypes which have been around for the longest time and one of them is stretch marks.

Speaking exclusively to us on the same subject, Shweta said, “I should not lie but when I was pregnant with Palak, I was very scared ki mujhe stretch marks aayega aur main baar baar apni maa ko kehti rehti thi ki maa mujhe stretch marks aajayega. Tab toh pata nahi tha na ki stretch marks toh kahi aur reason ke wajah se aa sakta tha so pregnancy hi stretch marks ka zariya tha, ye pata tha. Meri maa mujhe fir kehti ki ‘it’s okay, stretch marks aajayega toh kya that means you’ve gone through so much. Stretch marks aise hi nahi aa jata ki raat ko sou aur subha utho aur stretch marks aa gaya, stretch marks are good, koi problem nahi hai. You’re going to bring a human in this world toh it’s fine.’ Main ye nahi bataungi ki mujhe stretch marks hai ki nahi hai.”

She then even narrated a story when she was in Goa with her daughter Palak Tiwari where she asked her to wear swimwear but she denied it as she felt uncomfortable. As she was having a conversation with her daughter, a foreigner who was wearing a bikini passed by and told her she should wear a bikini despite having stretch marks. The foreigner then said that she had miscarriages and doctors stated how she can’t have a baby or can’t deliver. However, she is a mother of a boy and mentioned that she likes to flaunt her stretch marks. Shweta revealed she was extremely inspired by her story.

“Ye baat mere dimaag mein chap gayi ki every stretch marks has a story,” the Mere Brother Ki Dulhan actor added.
