Notably, Explaining the names he has been called for her postpartum weight, she added, “Moti hogayi hai, bhains hogayi hai, gai hogayi hai, hippo hogayi hai, haathi hogayi hai. Maine kaha mai sab hogayi hoon. Ab mai aapke in saare terminology ko accept karke own karti hoon. (She has become fat, she looks like a buffalo, cow, hippo, elephant. I shared, yes, I have become that. I accept your terminology and own it now).”
As per the latest buzz, In May this year, Swara posted a picture from 2018 on social media, only to be met with insensitive comments. “This is a hill I will repeatedly die on! The kind of rage and anger I’ve encountered in the last few years because my body has changed after childbirth and because I refuse to lose the weight on the timeline of strangers on the internet.. is bizarre! I want to say it- again and again. Women’s bodies have more purpose than sexualisation and being hangers for glamour,” she wrote in response.

On top of that, She also added, “After I had a baby (now 2.5 years ago) i chose NOT TO BOUNCE BACK. Because once you have a baby- there’s no back- you are a parent for the rest of your life. Life changes fundamentally, and that’s okay. Of course, we miss our old life, our young and free version, our thinner and tighter bodies, but to mindlessly keep idealising our younger, thinner selves- to force our bodies to bounce back or here and there and fit into versions of your past that are gone, is a kind of cruelty.”
