Bipasha Basu on trolling after Devi’s birth
Speaking to Elle India, stated that conversations around women’s bodies are quite ‘bizarre’ even today. The actress mentioned that a woman is magically expected to get back into shape of her twenties after childbirth while she is in her forties.
“What’s expected of a 20-year-old is expected of a 40-year-old. And if you’re not bouncing back, they’re going to troll you. They’re going to be massively brutal. I went through major, major trolling. A few insensitive paps took really bizarre pictures of me,” she said.

The actress further stated that people don’t see the amount of effort a woman must be putting in, how much she has to do with her baby, lifestyle and personal pressures. “Nobody really cares. Everybody expects you to bounce back.” That said, Bipasha stated that she is an extremely confident person and hence no kind of trolling can break her. “I know what my journey is, I know what work I need to put in, when I need to put it in, and I will go with that. Outside noise does not really matter,” she told the magazine.
