Katrina Kaif Rejects Postpartum Body‑Shaming

Katrina Kaif told Vogue India she will prioritise family, setting her own pace for postnatal recovery.

Overview

  • Katrina Kaif spoke to Vogue India on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, to directly rebut online criticism of her post‑pregnancy appearance.
  • The backlash began after a September public appearance at the Ambani Ganpati celebrations, where edited images and comments targeted her postpartum body.
  • Kaif said people 'choose to view that body through a harsh lens' and challenged the expectation that women must immediately 'bounce back' after childbirth.
  • She affirmed she is 'very aware' of her fitness journey and will return to her preferred level 'at her own pace,' and she praised husband Vicky Kaushal for being fully present as a father.
  • The interview frames a wider debate about gendered public expectations and shows a high‑profile celebrity pushing back against social media pressure on new mothers.
