Aishwarya Rai | Cannes Film Festival

Every man and his dog seems to have had an opinion on Aishwarya Rai's post baby weight gain - and her apparent refusal to lose it. More power to her, I say! Ash didn't feel the need to shed what is natural post-natal weight. Maybe because she wanted to nurse her child - whether that meant spending every precious moment with her daughter or breast-feeding. What the people who suggest she follows in the footsteps of the likes of Victoria Beckham don't realise is that rapid weight loss after giving birth is not only unnatural but it can also be harmful. And since when was Aishwarya Rai known for conforming to what society expects of her. She is an independent woman and came from a small town and then went on to conquer the world. If anything she deserves immense praise for her ability to shake off her detractors. I mean look at her here at Cannes. Does she look bothered in the slightest? Not to mention she looks drop-dead gorgeous. Check out this interview where Ash breaks her silence on the matter.
