Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the biggest superstars in the country, who has been missing from the screen for quite some time. After her pregnancy in 2011, the actress chose to do only a few projects. The former Miss World always managed to grab headlines for one reason or the other. After embracing motherhood by giving birth to Aaradhya in 2011, Aishwarya Rai was heavily trolled for gaining weight post-delivery. In a throwback interview with David Frost, Rai was asked if she was getting rid of her pregnancy weight. Aishwarya gave a befitting reply to the interviewer. Know what the actress said.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said, “It’s not something that I really need to even be discussing giving so much attention to. It’s normal. It was natural in my case. That was the natural turn that my body took in terms of whether I gained weight or I had water retention or whatever else that goes with the space. I was comfortable.”
“I stepped out in public when I could take time out from my baby. And if I did think it a big deal, I would have been in hiding or would have done something about it. So if want to lose it overnight, it is possible. But that’s not the choice that I was making and I pretty much made that evident. And I wasn’t disturbed by it. If people were, well I guess, I hope they enjoyed the drama because I was busy leading a very real life. With my baby,” she added.
Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan got married in 2007 in a private yet lavish ceremony in Mumbai. The couple gave birth to their first child, Aaradhya, in 2011. Post her pregnancy, the actress was seen in movies like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, 2.0, Sarabjit and Fanney Khan to name a few.
The actress recently represented L’Oréal Paris at the Cannes 2025. The actress shared her two looks from the film festival, which was highly appreciated by her fans.
