Parineeti Chopra has come to Katrina Kaif’s defense after the actress faced online trolling over her postpartum body, calling such comments “uneducated” and urging people to be more mindful.
The Tiger 3 star recently made a rare public appearance with Vicky at Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s Ganpati celebration, prompting online comments about her post-pregnancy appearance.
"When somebody comments on a postpartum body, I find it uneducated. Like, you get a haircut, your hair is going to be shorter. You go for a vacation, you are going to come back with a tan. You are going to the gym, so you are going to make abs. There is going to be evidence of what you did on your body and all that is celebrated," Chopra told PTI in an interview.
"But making a human life, a baby, that evidence on the body is not celebrated. How is it negative? I would look at a woman and say, 'Oh my god, I see a stretch mark. Did you grow a baby? That's so amazing. How is your baby?' That's how I would look at it," she added.
The Amar Singh Chamkila starlet said she avoids social media to steer clear of negativity after welcoming her son last October.
"Since, I don't spend much time on social media, I don't get to read about any kind of trolling. I don't even know the trolling that is happening around me or around people. I actually don't know most of it because that's how insignificant I feel it is. It's really a waste of time," she said.
Parineeti is set to make her web series debut with Shaque: Trust No One, a psychological thriller created by Rensil D’Silva and Siddharth P. Malhotra.
The series also features Jennifer Winget, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Soni Razdan, Anup Soni, Sumeet Vyas and Harleen Sethi in key roles.
It is scheduled to release on Netflix on September 24.
