  "account": "Bollywood star Katrina Kaif, well-known for her popularity over two decades, made a public appearance at Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. This marked her first event since giving birth to her son Vihaan in November 2025, alongside her husband, actor Vicky Kaushal. Following her appearance, trolls targeted the actress for her physical appearance, prompting her co-star from Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Pakistani actor Ali Zafar, to defend her. Ali Zafar shared a video on social media, questioning the mental health of men who judge women's bodies. He emphasized the importance of compassion, understanding personal struggles, and rejecting unrealistic expectations of a perfect body. Ali Zafar, who worked with Katrina in the 2011 film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, highlighted that everyone faces personal challenges and should be treated with kindness. Katrina Kaif last appeared in the 2024 film Merry Christmas before welcoming her first child, Vihaan, in November of the same year. The actress announced her pregnancy in September 2025 and married Vicky Kaushal in December 2021.",
