Karan Mehra’s wife Nisha Rawal lashes out at body shamers; clarifies pregnancy rumours

Social media helps celebs to be in constant touch with their fan base. But sometimes netizens cross the line and end up asking unpleasant or personal questions to their favourite actors. Television actress Nisha Rawal recently lashed out at body shamers who assumed that she was pregnant just because she has a belly.

Celebs are a soft target for trolls. Also on social media, body shaming and bullying are very rampant. Nisha Rawal recently posted her few pictures on which she was body-shamed by a section of netizens. The actress lashed out at these people and shared an elaborate post on body-shaming.

In her post, Nisha wrote, “BELLY-SHAME! This picture was clicked yesterday & ‘No! I ain’t pregnant’ & ‘Yes! I have a belly’. This must be my 3rd elaborate post on shaming! Shame, 1stly is the strongest of human emotions! The victim withdraws into his shell. It never did anyone, any good! Belly shame is one of the many kinds of shaming we have in our stigmatised society! I have always had a tummy. It would become smaller or bigger depending on my fitness regime but would never go away! I was always ashamed of it & that made me do things that would either injure me by beating myself up in the gym doing crunches until my muscles went into a cramp or would do the opposite with my hog-sprees!”

She further added, “We all have shamed someone, knowingly or unknowingly because our culture conditions us to believe it’s normal to ask anyone,‘Hey why all the weight?’ ‘Don’t u eat anything?’ ‘You must be dieting too much’, and on goes the list! And after we have babies, except for a rare, few women, our bellies are never the same! They sag and have stretch marks! We won’t wear a bikini, won’t have sex with lights on and would suddenly become so conscious of the bodies we have lived in all our lives! It’s not easy to accept this newfound body post-birth. But let’s at least hold each other’s hands and try! Let’s uplift each other! A few stretch marks and a changed belly does not change our soul! Let’s learn to love ourselves(sic)”
