In a heartfelt conversation with Telly Talk India, she reflected on how body-shaming impacted her self-esteem and how her husband\u2019s support helped her through the most difficult phase.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>Struggles After Motherhood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Rupali and her husband Ashwin Verma welcomed their son, Rudransh, in August 2013. Soon after childbirth, the actor revealed she had put on considerable weight, reaching around 83 kg at one point. More than the number on the scale, it was the unsolicited comments from people that left a mark.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cAfter Rudransh, I was 83 kg aur main mirror nahi dekhti thi. Kahin log ne bola, \u2018Tu toh itni moti ho gayi.\u2019 Random cheezein jo kahin jati woh aapko chu jati hai, especially being a woman,&#8221; she recalled, admitting that she often avoided mirrors to escape the hurt.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>Impact on Self-Esteem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The actor shared how her waistline went from 24 to 40 inches, a change that left her feeling disconnected from her own body. \u201cMere himmat nahi hoti thi aayne ke samne aane ki\u2026 24 se aapki waist jab 40 ki ho jaati hai ajeeb sa lagta hai,&#8221; she said, adding that the emotional weight was far heavier than the physical.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>Love and Support from Husband<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Through it all, Rupali credited her husband Ashwin for being her anchor. His constant reassurance reminded her that love goes beyond physical appearance. \u201cAshwin was always very kind. Kind kya, he loved me. When you love somebody, you don\u2019t see the body or anything, but I used to feel different,&#8221; she shared with gratitude.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Rupali\u2019s honesty sheds light on the silent struggles many women face after childbirth. By speaking openly, she not only normalises these challenges but also highlights the importance of compassion and support in overcoming them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/swati-chaturvedi-2023-11-311a7f6229417d5d5693180448c9311a-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/swati-chaturvedi-22519.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Swati Chaturvedi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swati Chaturvedi, a seasoned media and journalism aficionado with over 10 years of expertise, is not just a storyteller; she&#8217;s a weaver of wit and wisdom in the digital landscape.
