Overview

  • In new remarks, Dhupia says she married Angad Bedi and six months later welcomed their daughter Mehr.
  • She calls the fixation on her pregnancy timing “ridiculous” and notes being grouped with Neena Gupta and Alia Bhatt.
  • The criticism, she says, pushed her to launch Freedom to Feed in 2019 to foster open discussion on pregnancy, breastfeeding and postpartum care.
  • The initiative is reported to have grown into a community of roughly 60,000 that connects mothers, experts and real-life stories.
  • Dhupia says trolling continues but she rejects public policing of women’s choices and plans to keep speaking out.
