Motherhood is a journey of love, sacrifice, and immense strength, but sadly, societal judgment often looms large. Actor Mahhi Vij recently faced body-shaming trolls after the birth of her daughter.
However, instead of letting negativity affect her, Mahhi gave a powerful and stunning response, showcasing her priorities and resilience.
A troll attacked Mahhi with the comment “sharam kar moti,” targeting her post-pregnancy weight gain. Refusing to stay silent, Mahhi took to her Instagram stories, sharing a screenshot of the offensive comment and delivering a sharp reply.
“Was ur mother thin after delivering u like idiot,” she wrote, hitting back with justified anger. She didn’t stop there, shedding light on the hypocrisy of such trolls, stating, “Gaali bhi dete hai aur follow bhi karte hai (They use abusive language but follow you too). Fake accounts with no followers.”
This isn’t the first time Mahhi has had to deal with body shaming. Shortly after giving birth to her daughter, the actor was criticized for putting on weight. But Mahhi’s focus was crystal clear—her baby’s well-being. In response to the trolls, she had earlier written on Instagram, “To all the idiots who are worried about my weight. My priority is feeding my baby not MY FIGURE.” Her statement resonated with many, reminding people of the beauty and significance of motherhood over societal expectations.
The birth of her daughter was a moment of pure joy for Mahhi and her husband, Jay Bhanushali. Jay announced the arrival of their little girl with a heartwarming picture, where he was seen kissing her tiny feet. He wrote, “The future just arrived, a brand new baby here to play. Ten little fingers ten little toes, mommy’s eyes and daddy’s nose. Thank you, princess, for choosing us as your parents. ITS A GIRL.”
Mahhi shared the same picture, pouring her emotions into a heartfelt caption: “Twinkle twinkle little star, we made a wish, and here you are. Thank you for choosing us as your parents. We feel complete. We are blessed with a baby girl, thank you God for everything. This one is special, thank you. We feel blessed. My best friend is here. Meri zindagi Badal di.”
Mahhi’s journey as a mother and her refusal to let trolls dictate her life is an inspiration. By prioritizing her child and responding to negativity with dignity, she’s shown the world that a mother’s strength is unmatched.
