Talking about the situation, Alia said, "I know everyone believes that I lost weight unnaturally, but the truth is that I can't even get my wisdom tooth extracted at the moment since I'm breastfeeding and can't be given anesthesia. I didn't put any pressure on myself."

She further said, "I want to talk about this. A lot of women struggle with their new appearance post-pregnancy. They tend to put a lot of pressure on themselves to get back to looking a certain way."

Alia also said, "Everyone wants to lose weight and I can relate to that. I love food, I love to eat and I had to lose weight because films are a visual medium and you need to look healthy."

She continued, "You have to look appealing. In today's age, with every picture appearing on social media, girls even before pregnancy are constantly worried about how they look. Women should take a moment to appreciate their bodies."

Alia Bhatt welcomed her baby girl with Ranbir Kapoor on November 6, 2022. Last year, Alia Bhatt appeared in four films, including 'RRR' and 'Brahmastra: Part One-Shiva.' Taking a break from acting, the actress will next be seen with Ranveer Singh in Karan Johar's directorial 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.'

Alia Bhatt is also set to make her Hollywood debut with Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in 'Heart Of Stone.' She will also feature in Farhan Akhtar's 'Jee Le Zara' alongside Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra. The stunner will make her Met Gala debut this year at the event to be held on May 1.
