Life-Camera-Action! Who doesn’t love to be in the spotlight? Celebrities are living their lives in a fishbowl, with everyone offering their 2 cents. There is no such thing as ‘privacy’ when you are a star. People have an opinion about every single aspect of their life, from the food they eat to the clothes they wear. This scrutiny extends to their private lives as well, with renowned stars receiving bizarre comments about their baby bumps. Read to know more. 

Deepika Padukone Pregnancy

Deepika and Ranveer announced the good news back in February. The couple is expected to welcome their baby in September. While their Instagram was flooded with beautiful messages from their fans and co-stars, There were incidents where Deepika faced backlash and comments with questions about the authenticity of her pregnancy. 

“You’re not even pregnant, why are you showing your fake baby bump?” wrote one of the users. “Don’t play with people u r not pregnant at all” wrote another. 

Celebs Support Deepika 

Senior journalist Faye D’Souza came in support of Deepika by penning down and posting a wonderful note that read “Dear social media, Deepika Padukone stepped out to do her democratic duty and vote. She did not ask for your feedback on her body or her pregnancy. You have no right to comment on any aspect of her life. Stop it. Behave.” The post was liked by many renowned celebrities including Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt, and Soni Razdan.

Online trolling may not seem like a big deal but it does have an impact. In such a beautiful phase of their lives, the last thing they need is such negativity. 

Drashti Silences The Trollers

Madhubala actress Drashti Dhami, too, couldn’t escape the online trolls. Drashti and her husband, Neeraj Khemka revealed the big news on 14th June by posting a video on their Instagram, captioned “ In a galaxy not so far away, a tiny rebel is joining our crazy tribe”. There were these disturbing comments on her posts, like those on Deepika’s. “By surrogacy? Because you don’t look pregnant” one person commented. 

The actress shut down all the rumours in her recent Instagram post, in which she wrote: “Proof that my baby bump is not just a really big lunch”. The post was liked and shared by many celebrities and fans. Some even commented that she didn’t need to give anyone any proof.

The 9 months of pregnancy are not the same for everyone and the overall experience is different for each pregnancy. Some celebrities choose to share their baby bump pictures, while others choose to stay out of the limelight. But, this does not give any of us any right to throw speculations and bombard their lives with negative opinions. What do you think about that?
