  "account": "During the Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, actor Salman Khan condemned the culture of trolling and body-shaming, specifically the way women are targeted for their postpartum weight. Salman did not directly reference Katrina Kaif, whose appearance at the Ambani family's Ganpati celebrations drew ruthless trolling. Richa Chadha, who gave birth to her first child in 2024 and is preparing to release her non-fiction project Musafiri, commended Salman for addressing the issue. Richa stated she was unaware of Salman's remarks until informed about them. \"I didn't know he spoke about it but it's great! It's a magnanimous thing to do. One shouldn't pay heed. Poor men are so limited in their thinking capacities and they'll never have the profound experience of giving birth. They (men) cannot exist without us. All of them came from a womb. In the natural order of things, if you start to make fun of mothers, it backfires very badly,\" she said. Salman had also addressed the trolling issue during the Bigg Boss 20 episode, pointing out how people comment on various aspects of a person's appearance and family. The actor emphasized that trolling someone for becoming a mother is unacceptable. Richa, who has spoken about postpartum body-shaming, added that men who make such comments are unhappy with their own bodies. Salman's comments garnered support from several members of the film industry, including Varun Dhawan, David Dhawan, Neha Dhupia, and Kunal Kohli, who all lauded the actor's stance on online trolling and body-shaming.",
