Salman Khan’s Counter to Body Shaming Trolling

Pregnancy and childbirth bring significant physical and hormonal changes to a woman’s body. Amid continued social media trolling and criticism of new mothers over their appearance and weight, actor Salman Khan has reportedly spoken against such body shaming. He noted that weight gain after childbirth is a natural part of the recovery process and that women should be given adequate time to regain their health rather than being pressured to immediately return to their pre-pregnancy appearance.

Salman also reportedly emphasised that new mothers should be able to focus on their health, family and bonding with their baby instead of worrying about online criticism. His comments have drawn attention to the need for greater empathy towards women during the postpartum period. The discussion also highlights concerns over unrealistic beauty and body-image expectations frequently promoted on social media.
