Alia Bhatt on why she ‘had to lose weight’ after daughter birth

• Alia Bhatt gave birth to daughter Raha Kapoor in November 2022.
• Alia spoke about ‘women struggling with their new appearance post pregnancy’.
• She also opened up about why she ‘had to lose weight’ after giving birth.

New mothers ‘place a lot of pressure on themselves,’ according to Alia Bhatt, to return to their pre-pregnancy appearance. In addition, Alia discussed why she “had to reduce weight” following the birth of Raha Kapoor in November 2022.
Raha Kapoor, the daughter of new mom Alia Bhatt and actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor, was born in November of the previous year. Alia discussed “ladies grappling with their changed appearance following birth” in a recent interview. After giving birth, the star talked openly about relating to new mothers “who desire to reduce weight.” In addition, Alia discussed her weight reduction since giving birth to Raha and said that the reason for her weight loss was due to the movies.

The star claimed that new mothers put “a lot of pressure on themselves” to resume their previous appearances. After Raha was born on November 6, 2022, Alia Bhatt said that she ‘had to lose weight’ because movies ‘are a visual medium’ and she ‘had to look beautiful’. In a recent interview, Alia acknowledged her love of food and talked about the pressure women experience because of social media in today’s world “even before pregnancy.”

I’d really like to discuss this. Many women struggle with their postpartum appearance. They frequently put a lot of pressure on themselves to resume their previous appearances. I understand that everyone wants to lose weight. Because movies are a visual medium and you need to look well, I love food and I love to eat, but I had to lose weight. You must have a good appearance. Girls worry about their appearance all the time these days, even before getting pregnant, because every picture is posted on social media. Women ought to stop and think about how beautiful their bodies are.

Alia continued by talking about how new mothers should maintain their bodies “safe” and said that she exercises now for health reasons rather than to lose weight or slim down. It’s not just about getting back in shape, she continued; you also need to strengthen your immune.

After that, everything will fall into place. I no longer exercise to lose weight or to make my waist appear smaller. I exercise for my health. The goal is to maintain a healthy weight rather than starve oneself by eating unhealthily. I decided not to be too hard on myself, even if I occasionally have a little additional bloating or weight gain. I’m going to have a party for it. I’m not going to torment myself.

The actress also provided wellness advice for new mothers in the same interview, advising them to make an effort to stay healthy by eating vegetables, including protein in their diets, practising yoga, and going for walks and runs. Alia and Ranbir Kapoor were recently photographed outside their Mumbai building with their stroller-riding baby Raha. Shaheen Bhatt, Alia’s sister, had also joined them.

In April of last year, Alia and Ranbir got married in their Vastu home. On November 6, 2022, Alia had announced the arrival of their daughter. The actor shared his pregnancy news on Instagram with the caption, “And in the happiest news of our lives: Our baby is here.. and what a wonderful lady she is. Our hearts are overflowing with love; we are blessed and driven parents.”
