Neha Dhupia slams media report fat shaming her, Karan Johar, Sonam Kapoor rise to her defence

Actor Neha Dhupia has slammed a media report that fat shamed her. She has found support in friend and filmmaker Karan Johar.

Actor Neha Dhupia, who welcomed her daughter in November last year, has slammed a media report fat shaming her saying ‘shocking weight gain post pregnancy’ for her appearance at a fashion event. And lending her support is filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Sonam Kapoor. In an Instagram post, Neha made it clear that she is not bothered about being fat shamed but it should stop for everyone else.

Neha Dhupia was slammed for gaining weight post motherhood.

She said, “As a new mom I want to be fit, healthy and energetic for my daughter. So I workout everyday, sometimes twice a day because for me...’Fitness’ is a priority and not ‘fitting into’ society’s standards regarding looks.” She also asked readers to be kinder to each other while making such comments.

Sonam Kapoor also replied to her post saying, “You are beautiful no matter what any one says.”

Karan had appeared on Neha’s talk show, No Filter Neha, and had spoken about his funny gym antics. Neha marked her return as a gang leader on the reality show, Roadies Real Heroes. Speaking to Hindustan Times at the Delhi auditions, Neha had revealed that Karan was indeed her favourite guest on her chat show.

Neha tied the knot with actor Angad Bedi in May last year. The two have named their daughter Mehr. Talking about how she manages to juggle work with motherhood, Neha told HT, “As parents, both I and Angad don’t make a big deal out of anything. And that’s how we end up doing something like this.”
