Shilpa Shetty is a mother of two. Her son, Viaan was born on May 21, 2012. During pregnancy, every woman gains weight and post-pregnancy, it takes time for the mothers to get back into shape. When Shilpa was pregnant for the first time, she too gained a few kilos that made her the victim of body-shaming.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Shilpa made this revelation saying, “I had put on 32 kilos during my pregnancy. Ideally, I thought I’d gain around 15 kilos but I had double that weight. And after delivering Viaan, I put on two more kilos which was ridiculous. I don’t know how I did that. So I remember this one incident when I went out with Raj for dinner for the first time after having Viaan. We walked in and there was this group of women at a kitty sitting and smirking at me. I could hear them say, “Is that Shilpa Shetty? She still has weight!” It was absolutely heartless.”

Questioning the mentality of the people, she said, “Who are these people anyway? I would also like to see how they look when they get pregnant. It’s easy to comment.”

Shilpa said that it was her mom who encouraged her to shed the extra kilos she had put on.“My mother is known for her straight talk. One day, she just asked me, “When are you planning to lose the weight?”, said Shilpa.
