Aishwarya Rai has often been called the most beautiful woman in the world. Apparently India likes this and is upset that Aishwarya has not lost the pregnancy weight she gained after the birth of her baby in November. After two decades of watching everything she ate, Aishwarya has said she is not in a hurry to lose the weight and is enjoying being a mother. Good for her. Not so good for the population though who say that she is embarrassing herself and India and have even gone so far as to say that she is a traitor to her country for not being in top shape all the time. They say it is her duty to lose the weight and not to embarrass the country, especially since she will be in Cannes this week on the world stage.
It sounds like whoever is saying this might be the one embarrassing India.
ReplyDeleteAs much as we love to discuss this topic, I don't think any of us are stupid/insane/lame enough to make it a national issue.
India has more embarrassing things than a woman that wants to enjoy her kids.
ReplyDeleteThey need to focus.
Wow. India maybe needs to clean up te poop all over the streets and take care of the poor folk who can't afford to eat. Oh and deodorant before they worry about Aishwarya Rai ( who is beautiful!)
ReplyDelete***grabs mic*** TAKE HER TO BE STONED!
ReplyDeleteI think she looks more beautiful with the weight on. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Vicki. I love Indian culture, but they should be embarrassed that 42% of their children are malnourished and underweight, not that one actress is enjoying a little too much curry.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Just... yeah.
ReplyDeleteStupid-ass morons is all one can attribute this kind of blather to.
A friend of mine has a daughter who spent part of one of summers in India. She stayed with an ex-pat who has been living in India for a couple of years, and helped her to be careful about every thing she ate and drank while she was there. She still got some sort of horrible intestinal problem which took months to clear up once she got back to the U.S. She was slender to begin with and lost so much weight when she got back that it was really scary. She pretty much felt as @Amy in MI does. Anyone who can gain weight in India needs a medal, not condemnation!
ReplyDeleteOk I really doubt this is the ENTIRE population of India as this post suggests. The media does not represent the population there, just as our media does not represent all of us.
ReplyDelete@Vicki - agree, well stated.
ReplyDeleteOkay, before all the hate on India as a country or Indian people starts...NOT EVERY INDIAN PERSON FEELS LIKE THIS!
ReplyDeleteI had to put that in quotes. I agree--if she wants to take time after giving birth, let her. The person who wrote this should be a sad individual.
I'm Indian, btw. I forgot to mention that in my last post. I def feel that she still looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDitto-ing Char and everyone.
ReplyDeleteI mean, this is the same "population" among whom many smear dung on their front stoops every day... We could crack on a whole bunch of other stuff they have going on, other than their "national beauty" still having some baby weight for cryin' out loud!
(I know, the dung is a sacred thing. Just couldn't resist).
And I'm from NC so there's a TON that could be cracked-on about me and my fellow Carolinians, readily agreed!
ReplyDeleteThat bitch!
ReplyDeleteHow awful. Good for her for doing what she wants!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cracking, I don't think even crack is going to help me lose weight.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most stupid things I have ever read. The people of India should be ashamed .
ReplyDeleteIt's not about reaffirming that she's "still beautiful" it's about her being allowed to make a personal choice.
ReplyDeleteDitto NT! @selenakyle, are you serious about the dung? None of my relatives do that. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteYeah seriously, what's the dung about? Is it like when people park their cars on the front lawn or something?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe Indian people or even a small significant are saying this about Rai. This entire story is a load of bullshit. Let's reinforce the campaign to shame ALL women into losing their pregnancy weight immediately or else.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet a majority of "the population" saying these things about her are men. One less entry in the Spank Bank.
ReplyDeleteThe population of India is estimated at 1.2 billion, which of course doesn't include Indisans living in other countries. Are we really expected to believe at least 1.2 billion Indians believe she's betraying her country? Absolute stupidity.
ReplyDeleteof course not ,Liz! they are all too busy spreading dung on their huts and shitting in the streets, according to the posters above.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem their versions of Kneepads are trying to create drama. I wonder who their constant Brangelina/Aniston celebs are?
ReplyDelete@jax, guess you've never experienced India up close and personal:)
ReplyDelete@Brenda - ha! You cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteNatGeo or some other educational channel had a whole show about it not long ago. Go look it up!
ReplyDeleteIn some regions they smear dung all over the front door and stoop area every morning.
Dung has a shitload of uses, actually, both religious and practical.
(pun intended)
SMH
ReplyDeleteYou guys are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOh okay. So what villagers in rural villages equals the majority of a billion plus nation. I also imagine the images the world sees of the US also reflects the majority of its population.
ReplyDeleteIt's also interesting that one Indian represents a nation, while one American never does, whether this is through Hindu ultra-nationalists or through the Western media.
All of this makes sense.

ReplyDeleteShe had her baby six months ago. It's perfectly normal to not have lost all the baby weight in that time. (Sure, I know, Beyonce could have gotten pregnant, had her baby, and lost all the weight AND gotten better muscle tone than before she got pregnant in that same period of time, but despite what people post on other boards, that is not how it ususally goes.)
ReplyDeleteWow... all 1.21 billion people in India took the time to fret about Aishwarya Rai's weight gain?!?! Seriously, and you people buy into this nonsense??? Most of the Indian population is busy just trying to get by from what I gather...
ReplyDeleteReally?? You believe some YouTube video or dailymail speaks for India???? Y'all are really idiotic and should have dung spread over your faces for being so ignorant.
ReplyDeleteThe dung absorbs heat and is cooling and can be used with a fire.
Racist much,? Great to see the prejudice come out here.
If we could focus OFF of the Indian bashing and perpetration of stereotypes and ONTO the subject at hand- which is the body-shaming happening here, that'd be great :/
ReplyDeleteAishwarya Rai had her baby at 38 yrs old and it probably can take longer to lose the baby weight. Or maybe girlfriend is just tired (like Enty said) of being a Bollywood actress who has to constantly stay in beauty-pageant ready shape.
I think it is great this story is circulating actually because it allows more people to see the impossible harmful standards of beauty in our world AND that despite her obvious happiness right now Aishwarya's value is clearly placed on her physical appearence. I think this is a FABULOUS subject to bring out into mainstream society any chance it comes so more people can perhaps be inspired to change this bullshit ideology.
Good on her for being a strong bitch and losing the weight (if at all) on her own time.
I have spent two months in India, and have been married to an Indian man(as a white woman) for ten years. There is over a billion people in India, and not everyone shares the same customs. It's ignorant to say otherwise. My husband's family had more money growing up than I ever saw as a child, and produced a surgeon and a scientist. Never saw dung on a door or a street when I was there. Don't paint everyone with the same brush. It is not reality. They have very poor people and very rich people. Just like here. India is on the come-up. Don't get it twisted.
ReplyDeleteGive them Beyonce and we can take Aishwarya.
ReplyDeleteduty to lose weight my ass, let her enjoy her new baby and recover from pregnancy as she sees fit.
i think she is still beautiful, even with her weight. why does she have to be skinny to be the Most Beautiful Women In The World?
ReplyDeleteShe is delightful and beautiful, and its really no ones' businress if or when she chooses to lose the weight. People need hobbies.....
ReplyDeleteWow Waningone simma down. Because one person mentions a custom for SOME people doesn't make them racist. I think the point was to show that people care about something other than Rai's weight. Selenakyle also went on to make fun of herself in the following comment. I really think she meant no harm.
ReplyDeleteAnd Aishwaryra is beautiful no matter what.
o dodn't know she had a baby! i want to see a picture.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the worst and laziest posts that Enty has put up in the time I've been here, even considering his leaning towards snark and sarcasm. About giving the real source for this drivel and not attributing it to 'the Indian population'. Lordie...
ReplyDeleteRai is beautiful, she doesn't owe anyone anything except to be healthy for the child she bore. I'm sure she's got that covered.
This was a BV one time and it was guessed to be Aishwarya. Aishwarya (who I think is absolutely gorgeous) married Abhishek Bachchan. It said she is actually the lover of Abhishek's father and the father wanted to keep Aishwarya as close to him as possible, so had her marry his son who is homosexual (Abhishek) to keep her around all the time so his wife wouldn't be suspicious.
ReplyDeleteWell perhaps this is more embarrassing than it appears at first glance!
ReplyDeleteYo! White trash Americans nobody is bothered in India about her weight. Most of the women gain weight after child birth and we all know that. She is not known for her acting skills in India but only for her plasticky beauty. People here are crazy for white skin but nobody is losing sleep over her weight gain. Judging by this article and the comments that have been made. It sure seems that you white KKK mother fuckers need to change your racist mindset. A million white junkies/sluts come to India and eat Indian food and very few fell sick due to the food. Like Indians would fall sick just by looking at you ugly mother fucking kkk raped racists. Deodorant, really? Bitch please. Throw away the meth and stop prostituting yourself and your kids first. Stop killing African Americans. Get an education. Take the native Americans out of the reservations and hand them back their country and you racists bitches can go to some far away planet. You mother fuckers want to know why the rest of the world hates you. Simple, you mother fucking white trash racists are dumb. Your mothers give birth to you through their assholes and no wonder you spend your entire life proving to the world that how big assholes you are. How can a nation which has MIT, Harvard etc etc have so many dumb fucks? You mother fuckers are so fucking dumb and everyone hates you for that simple reason. White trash gets his stories from British tabloids and changes the words to show Indians in a poor light and thinks that he has done something great. Fact check you racist mother fuckers. Your country has been pawned to the Chinese bitches, you are a broke white trash nation. Keep your cunts and arses shaved and clean we Asians are coming and we will let our dogs fuck you and we won't pay you money coz we own you god damned mother fuckers. We know how powerful you are, you like to rape kids and women wherever you go to war to. Kill innocents, burn them alive just to prove that how powerful white mother fuckers are. Your pathetic race is on the decline, so be careful and stop annoying people of other races. We have elephants too, after our dogs rape you they will have a go. Don't worry we will let you live. We won't burn you after raping you. We will let the chinese do that.
ReplyDeleteNow she just looks like she is from the land of cheese, potatoes and sausage, aka Wisconsin. No harm, no foul. Still pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow Spat ... Can you squeeze in one more "mother fucker" ... Cos I think your comment needs it... You know for ... Dramatic effect.
ReplyDelete@Twinkle- ROFLMO!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Spat. Good point, well made. We really shouldn't judge a whole country based on stuff said on a gossip site. You're like the Gandhi of Gossip.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSpat, how is it not racist to threaten to rape people because of their colour? Not into racism from anywhere or anybody.
ReplyDeleteHey, I am not saying there is poop everywhere in India, I just saw it on the streets from the "moo cows" as my niece calls them... And oh dear lord the trains...Yuck!
ReplyDeleteSaying that Indians spread dung on their huts is like saying that Americans all sleep with their siblings (a la rednecks.) Not entirely untrue, but still misrepresentative.
ReplyDeleteUGH. this topic makes me sick. Ive already trolled a couple of sites and posted comments :P
ReplyDeleteFrom what Ive read I dont think its ALL of india, just a couple of idiots who put together that idiotic video.
The "I dropped my babyweight in 8 weeks" must.stop.
I hope AR continues to ignore the insults and continues being her fabulous self at any weight she wants to be.
/rant
@TwinkleTwinkle jajaja agree with you
ReplyDeletespat78 you're a real gentleman XD
JESUS spat, save your racist drivel for other sites. HOW you brought the KKK and native americans into this discussion is beyond me, but you obviously have a shitload of disdain for everything American. My suggestion to you is - if you don't like what you see, leave. This is an American gossip site, talking about Hollywood celebrities. You obviously hate everything to do with America, so how did you find yourself on this site, let alone commenting on an article? Your post shows you have major rage issues. Please keep those for your personal blog and don't subject the rest of us to such hateful behavior.
