Parineeti Chopra Defends Katrina Kaif Against Postpartum Trolling
Katrina Kaif was criticized online because her body looked different after having a baby.
Parineeti Chopra said this criticism was unfair and showed a lack of understanding.
She said changes after childbirth are normal evidence of what a woman’s body has done.
Chopra compared these changes with getting a tan on vacation or building muscles at the gym.
She asked why those changes are celebrated while postpartum changes are criticized.
Some people online also supported Katrina and asked others to let her heal.
Katrina reportedly had her son, Vihaan, with Vicky Kaushal in November 2025.
Katrina has not publicly answered the criticism.
Parineeti said she avoids most online comments about herself because she considers them a waste of time.
Parineeti Chopra called online criticism of Katrina Kaif’s postpartum body “uneducated” and “bizarre.”
Kaif faced social-media judgments about changes to her face, body and weight after giving birth.
Chopra said physical changes after childbirth are evidence of strength and should not be treated negatively.
