Taking to her Instagram Stories, Patralekhaa strongly criticised the remark, addressing the realities of a woman’s body after childbirth

She clarified that her physical changes are a natural part of the postpartum phase and urged people to be more empathetic.

I have just given birth! Yes I have gained the weight, which seems like an unnatural phenomenon to you all,” she wrote.

She further added that the weight gain was not due to overeating but a natural response to pregnancy, even as she continues to come to terms with it.
