Baby comes first- Always

Aishwarya’s pregnancy weight gain sure raised a few eyebrows. The media wrote many unflattering things about her, but she did not allow it to affect her. She hit back strongly stating that her angel, Aradhya was her priority. In an interview with Anupama Chopra, she went on to state that, “Weight gain can happen at any point in time and it is something that you are dealing with anyway and it is ok. It is not the outside that defines who you are.” So do not let any nasty comments affect you. Take care of your baby first and ensure that your bundle of joy is healthy and happy.

Fat is beautiful

Post pregnancy, a lot of women lounge around in their tracksuits and jammies, their hair in disarray and their skin splotchy. But have you seen Ash and her post pregnancy pictures? She looks stunning, impeccably dressed in clothes that suit her present figure and not a hair out of place.


Just because your child takes up most of your time is no excuse to dress shabbily. Aishwarya glows beatifically whenever she makes a public appearance. So, ladies, take out your make up kit and your pretty shoes. A bit of kohl, a dash of lip gloss and some rouge can really enliven your face and make you look gorgeous.

Career should not take a back seat

Aradhya has just turned one and Aishwarya is now looking at a few scripts so that she does not give up on her career completely. It is true that your baby should be your priority, but as he or she starts growing up, you can start focusing on your career also. If you cannot work full time then, you must freelance or take up a part time gig. Develop a hobby and have a little ‘me’ time as well. Everything will fall in place if you understand yourself and your baby’s needs well.

Lose flab at a right time

Compare Aishwarya’s immediate post pregnancy pictures with her latest calendar shoot pictures, and you will be surprised. She has definitely lost a few kilos! When asked about her fitness mantra, she maintained that she is not looking for a drastic weight loss. She is taking her own time and is working out in the gym as well as going for power yoga.


Slowly and steadily we are getting to see the old Aishwarya, whose smiles could bring a million heartbeats to a halt.

So once you are ready, hit the gym and take your exercise routine seriously. Don’t expect to shed ten kilos in a couple of months. Set realistic targets and you will be at peace with yourself.
