Actress Neha Dhupia is unconcerned by people focusing on her weight or the extra pounds she gained after giving birth. She thinks it is pointless to get upset about her own body because of someone else's opinion.

The mother of two says, speaking candidly about her relationship with her body, "It is ever changing. When I first started out, I had different expectations of my body, and when I started working in movies, it was all about keeping fit and looking good on camera. Now, I have performed in a role while eight months pregnant... There is no greater vulnerability than that.

She believes that after giving birth, her body has changed, and rather than focusing on its flaws, she wants to embrace this change. "After giving birth the first time, I did gain a lot of weight, which I later lost. I gained weight a second time as well, but I've started to lose it now," Dhupia admits.

But has she ever felt uneasy about the way she looks? The actor explains, "How can I hate this body then? Maybe during my postpartum phase, maybe during my first shot. It has given me two incredible people. It took me a long time to comprehend and value that. I'm currently exercising and trying to get my body back to looking the way I want it to. I'm currently in that stage after giving birth.

People will always have opinions about me, she continues. I won't, however, become upset with my body just because someone else believes it to be a different size. I don't think I need to explain anything to anyone; I know my reason for being this size the best of anyone. She exclaims, "So, to go up a few dress sizes, or look a certain way is fine. I'm glad I recovered well after giving birth. I became a beauty queen and a mother thanks to this body. I have to accept it both ways.

She has realistic standards for herself, so that is true for her. "The first time, it took me a good two years to regain my pre-pregnancy weight, only for me to flatter myself enough to become pregnant once more. If it takes time, it will take time. The actor, who was most recently seen in A Thursday, declares, "I'm fine with that.

She continues, "I'm okay with whatever judgments people have of me, even if I go out in a tank top and a pair of skinny jeans. I'm not going to criticise myself for it. Dhupia argues that rather than worrying about the noise, she should pay attention to what is best for her.

"I don't have the bandwidth or the time. The joy of being pregnant has been mine. I have enjoyed gaining weight for the appropriate reasons. I have enjoyed giving in to cravings. And I don't have the kind of body that allows me to leave the house in figure-hugging clothing right after giving birth, she adds. Because of the respect she enjoys from others, it is crucial to be honest about it.
