In a message shared on her Instagram Stories, she called out the body-shaming remarks made about her appearance and said physical changes after pregnancy are natural. In her post, Patralekhaa stated that such comments show a lack of empathy and urged people to be more considerate, especially towards women who have recently given birth.
She wrote, "Pap pages! What's happened to me is that I have just given birth! Yes, I have gained weight, which seems like an unnatural phenomenon to you all. I have not sat and eaten a mountain. I have just delivered a baby and produced two films simultaneously, which are not easy jobs."
She added, "If I could, I would not be this way. But that's how my body has reacted to pregnancy. For God's sake, please learn to be a little kind." Take a look:
