People should stop infearing in her ife!
'But people are confused because they don't know whether to glorify Aishwarya in her new motherhood
or lament that she is not looking like a runway model.'
It's safe to say that far too many fall into the latter category, judging by the cruel comments
flooding internet sites.
Some, however, have come out in defence of the star, saying that she, like any new mother,
should be focusing on her infant, not her diet.
'She is a real women looking after a baby. We should be concern for her health
and happiness especially if she is nursing the baby. Not the Western belief of
expecting people in the spot light to lose all weight in month.
If she dieted what will happen to the baby's diet,' one said. *

How the 'most beautiful woman in the world' has been accused of
betraying her country for failing to lose her baby weight
Outrage sparked by photos showing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,
who gave birth seven months ago, with double chin
Fans say actress, 38, should lose weight fast 'like Victoria Beckham did'
By DEBORAH ARTHURS
She is a former Miss World, a successful Bollywood star and married to the son of one of India's best-loved stars.
She found international fame in the Hollywood film Bride and Prejudice, and Julia Roberts billed her as the world's
most beautiful woman.
Thanks to the notoriety such fame and fortune has brought her, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
has become one of the most admired and revered women in India, and indeed the world.
But such fame has come at a cost for the 38-year-old star.
Since the birth of her daughter in November last year, Aishwarya Rai has been open about the fact
that she is in no hurry to lose the few extra pounds she gained during her pregnancy.
(Letting her fans down? Former Miss World and Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been lambasted
by followers who suggest she should have lost her baby weight following the birth of her daughter)
The model and actress, who won the Miss World title in 1994, defended her choice,
saying she wanted simply to 'enjoy motherhood.'
But with the star, who married Abhishek Bachchan, the son of India's most loved film star Amitabh Bachnan in 2007,
tipped for her 10th appearance at Cannes next week, furious speculation is mounting as to how she will look.
Commentators have been unkind, lambasting the star for letting her fans down.
Many have gone a step further, suggesting the star has a 'duty' to her fans to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.
One website posted a video of the star looking less than her usual svelte self, flicking between photographs
of her pre-birth, and photos now.
(Svelte: Aishwarya Rai at the Oscars last February when she was in the very early stages of her pregnancy,
and at last year's Cannes Festival in May, six months before she gave birth to her daughter)
Called 'Aishwarya Rai's shocking weight gain', the clip, which came accompanied by
elephant sound effects, has been seen more than 500,000 times.
Dozens more videos in a similar vein have been posted, each with viewing figures
in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
Comments left after the video prove that many of those watching have little sympathy for Aishwarya.
'She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good and fit,' one said.
Another added: 'She needs to learn from people like Victoria Beckham who are back to
size zero weeks after their delivery.'It has opened up a debate in the country, and beyond,
about the attitudes held towards women in the public eye.
(Some unkind fans have compared Aishwarya to Victoria Beckham,
saying she should lose weight as quickly as Ms Beckham did after her four pregnancies)
'Aishwarya is like a goddess,' said showbusiness columnist Shobhaa Dé in the New York Daily News
by way of explanation.
'She is held up as the ideal of beauty and so there is an expectation on her to look perfect at all times.'
'The most beautiful woman in the world': Aishwarya Rai won Miss World in 1994
'The role models being held up are Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham, but our body frames are different –
we have wider hips and curves – so this whole business of looking desperately skinny two weeks after
giving birth is a western import.'
Cinema professor Shohini Ghosh added that women in India were up against an almost impossible task.
'There is a glorification of motherhood in India and Indian cinema,' he told the paper.
'But people are confused because they don't know whether to glorify Aishwarya in her new motherhood
or lament that she is not looking like a runway model.'
It's safe to say that far too many fall into the latter category, judging by the cruel comments
flooding internet sites.
Some, however, have come out in defence of the star, saying that she, like any new mother,
should be focusing on her infant, not her diet.
'She is a real women looking after a baby. We should be concern for her health
and happiness especially if she is nursing the baby. Not the Western belief of
expecting people in the spot light to lose all weight in month.
If she dieted what will happen to the baby's diet,' one said.
'That's because Aish is not one of those selfish ones who puts the focus on their bodies
instead of their babies, which makes them moody and ineffective as parents,' another said.
'Kudos to you Aish for keeping it real and letting your baby have all the bonding and attention
she needs with you. Enjoy your life.'
