Swara Bhaskar hits out at news outlet for saying she's losing work due to weight gain, 'Badhte wajan...'

Actor Swara Bhaskar, who married politician Fahad Ahmed in January last year and welcomed their baby girl, Raabiyaa, on September 23, 2023, recently called out a 'leading' newspaper for body shaming her. She criticised a newspaper article on her Instagram stories. The article had stated that her weight is affecting her film career.

Sharing a screenshot of the article, Swara wrote, 'For those who cannot read the Devanagari script, this is a leading Hindi newspaper handle that thinks it is newsworthy that a recent mom, who gave birth to a child a few months back, put on weight! Can someone please explain the physiology of childbirth to the geniuses..."

The article reportedly was shared on the social media platform, X. It said, 'Badhte wajan ke karan Swara ko nahi mil raha kaam (Due to her weight gain, Swara is not getting work)!”

Swara Bhaskar on being a Mother

In October 2023, Swara spoke to HT City about becoming a mother to her first child, Raabiyaa, soon after her marriage. She described 2023 as an 'absolute whirlwind, in the happiest way possible,' summarizing the year as very hectic with both marriage and childbirth occurring within 10 months. Reflecting on her rapid life changes, she remarked, 'Bhagwaan deta hai toh chhappad faad ke deta hai (When God blesses you, he blesses you abundantly).'

Discussing her daughter's upbringing, Swara emphasised that children reflect their parents' values. 'Raabiyaa' will have the best of both worlds. She will have access to two kinds of faith. It is like how India is a mish mash of caste and religion. In fact, the two families were chatting post her birth and discovered that the chhathhi (sixth day after the baby's birth) is common to both Hindus and Muslims. I think that is beautiful. We focus on the differences, but there is so much similarity. When you look for differences with an agenda, then you will find that rubbish," she said.

Swara's career graph till date

Swara made her debut in the 2009 film 'Madholal Keep Walking' and has since appeared in several notable films, including 'Tanu Weds Manu' (2011), 'Raanjhanaa' (2013), 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' (2015), 'Nil Battey Sannata' (2016), 'Veere Di Wedding' (2018), and the short film 'Sheer Qorma,' (2023).
