Katrina Kaif has responded to online scrutiny about her postpartum appearance, questioning the expectation for women to quickly return to their pre-pregnancy bodies. In an interview with Vogue India, she said motherhood was a step forward she had long desired, not something to undo, and emphasized she would return to her fitness at her own pace. The discussion followed public comments after her appearance at the Ambani family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai in September. She and her husband Vicky Kaushal welcomed their son Vihaan in November 2025 after a four-year journey.
Several public figures defended Kaif against the criticism. Salman Khan addressed the issue on Bigg Boss 20, calling post-pregnancy weight gain natural, while Ali Zafar, Parineeti Chopra, Shivaleeka Oberoi and Vivek Oberoi also spoke out. Pakistani RJ Dr Ejaz Waris apologized after facing backlash for his remarks. Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal noted that postpartum recovery varies, with healthy weight loss averaging around 0.5 kg per week, and warned against rapid dieting or excessive exercise.
