  "account": "Television actress Sonarika Bhadoria has come out in support of Bollywood star Katrina Kaif, speaking out against the body-shaming faced by mothers after childbirth. While not directly naming Katrina, Sonarika wrote, \"This isn’t just about Katrina. It’s about every mother judged while her body is still healing.\" She reminded women of their strength, power and worth, stating, \"You are a mother. You are powerful. You are worthy.\"\n\nSonarika addressed those who comment on postpartum bodies, saying, \"Her body grew, carried and delivered a human being. It doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for what it looks like afterwards.\" She emphasized that women do not need to \"shrink, change, or apologise\" for the journey of bringing new life into the world. In her Instagram post, Sonarika urged people to be kinder to postpartum mothers, calling it \"deeply cruel\" to scrutinise a woman's body after childbirth.\n\nShe highlighted various changes that occur during and after pregnancy, such as stretch marks, a softer stomach, changes in breasts, hair loss and tiredness. Sonarika pointed out that people often overlook the physical and emotional toll of motherhood. She stressed that a postpartum body is \"not a failed version of a woman's old body\" and urged people to think twice before commenting on someone's weight or appearance.\n\nAddressing mothers going through the postpartum phase, Sonarika wrote, \"Your body is not ruined. It is proof of a chapter that cost you more than anyone will ever fully understand.\" She implored society to stop teaching women to hate the bodies that carried their children and instead learn to show them compassion.",
