  "account": "Hrithik Roshan, the Bollywood actor, has reportedly expressed his support for Katrina Kaif after she faced social media trolling for her post-pregnancy weight gain. This came to light when it was noticed that Hrithik liked a post on Instagram from author Harshveer Jain, which was shared by the page Storysellercomics. The post addressed the trolls who have been criticizing Katrina's appearance post her pregnancy. The post reminisced about Harshveer's teenage crush on Katrina and his admiration for her work. It read, \"I crushed on Katrina Kaif all my teenage. Travelled inter-state to catch a glimpse. Kept newspaper cutouts and movie posters, some even in my wallet. Watched movies because she was casted. And now when a troll says she s finished because she put on post-pregnancy weight, I can only pity that troll.\" The post further condemned the trolls, stating, \"Because these trolls are either young teens or grown men. If they are young teens, I pity them because they hate women so much that instead of crushing on a woman who s currently age-appropriate for them, they are choosing to hate on someone who, quite possibly, their uncles crushed on. They are stuck in the 2000s. Pretty sad. But still less sad than if they are a grown man.\" The caption accompanying the post emphasized the lack of empathy of the trolls, hinting at their possible self-improvement. Hrithik Roshan's action to like the post has drawn attention, especially considering his long-standing friendship with Katrina. The two have previously worked together in the films Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and Bang Bang! (2014). Katrina Kaif, who recently welcomed her first child, has been the target of online comments about her weight. This is not the first instance of such trolling for the actress; a few weeks ago, she faced similar criticism after attending filmmaker Kuku Kohli's funeral. As of now, Katrina has not responded publicly to the trolling.",
