We have seen celebs getting trolled for their pregnancy announcements, recently with harsh digs at Alia Bhatt, we have shared a list of other popular actresses who were trolled for the sam
All the talks and grand debates around ‘women empowerment’ occurring at tv shows, amongst the panellists seem to be just an add-on for the ‘brownie points’ that it counts. Yes, definitely, privileged women aren’t in the utter need of ‘Feminism’ or ‘Women empowerment’ because yes we have got the ‘privileges’ of the ‘BASICS’, but the spectrum becomes bigger and more complex when it comes to ‘CHOICES’. Whether privileged or not, when a woman is strong enough to make her own decisions it becomes a ‘catalyst’ or ‘trigger’ to society! And every time a woman’s choices trigger the ‘parameters’ of the societal structure, we know revolution would come upon ‘the way’!
The casual sexism at workplaces, in households, and in other places, has become way too ‘casual’ than it should be, and it’s time that we call them out. That’s that, while you might think it just happens with ‘common women’, well ladies no we aren’t alone! Because when it comes to choices, the top-notch actresses from the country do not go missed by the ‘Misogynists’. Saying that here we have shared a list of 10 actresses who got trolled for choosing to carry a ‘life’ when they felt they were ready, emotionally and physically.
1. Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt, the very ambitious, beautiful and charismatic Gangubai, was trolled brutally since she announced her pregnancy in late June this year. The actress tied the knot in an intimate wedding with her beloved Ranbir Kapoor in April, and their pregnancy news came off more like a shock to people. While, mere cute jokes are fine, but yet what we saw was a bit ‘sick’ if we precisely use the term, as some of them chose their misogyny tool to get back at Bhatt. With some making memes on how Bhatt ‘shamelessly’ got pregnant before marriage, while others called out Bhatt for using ‘Pregnancy’ as a tool to get a hold of Ranbir, who’s been labelled as a ‘casanova’ strangely, for the longest time now.
2. Neha Dhupia
Back in May 2018, when Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi tied the knot in a private wedding, their marriage news definitely was a beautiful surprise to their fans. However, it was soon speculated the couple was pregnant before they tied the knot, and memes splashed around soon after they welcomed their first child in August 2018. The couple got trolled and shamed for getting pregnant before marriage, and we could analyse the kind of void we loop in as a society.
3. Amrita Arora
Amrita Arora tied the knot to Shakeel Ladak back in 2009 March. The couple had their wedding performed in two rituals. However, they got into the public eye after they announced their pregnancy within a few months. Netizens started to troll the couple for planning a family in such a rush. Well, what they failed to understand was that it was ‘none of their business’! The couple welcomed their baby boy in 2010 February.
4. Konkona Sen Sharma
One of the finest actresses and filmmakers Konkona Sen Sharma was trolled after for her pregnancy. The actress married Ranvir Shorey in September 2010 and welcomed their baby son in March 2011. However, this sparked a lot of controversies and trolls all across the country, with people calling out the Aaja Nachle actress for getting pregnant before marriage. Konkona, however, never confirmed the same in public.
5. Kalki Koechlin
Post her failed marriage with the popular director Anurag Kashyap the Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara actress started dating an established pianist Guy Hershberg who belonged to Jerusalem. Soon after, Kalki announced that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend aka Guy Hershberg. With this, netizens once again decided to choose ‘misogyny’ to call out the actress, going filthy with comments asking her about her ‘husband’.
6. Natasa Stankovic
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya got brutally trolled after the couple announced their pregnancy with wedlock. Netizens chose to take a blunt dig at the couple with sexist memes and not so needed opinions on social media. What’s more, some even exercised way too much to calculate and declare how Natasa was pregnant before Hardik even proposed to her for the wedding.
7. Dia Mirza
Back in 2021 February, Dia Mirza tied the knot with Vaibhav Rekhi. However, the couple got on the news after they announced their pregnancy in April 2021, just after a month and a half. With this, the actress got trolled and called out on Instagram, where she priorly gave off the news. One tried to take a sarcastically harsh dig at her asking why she didn’t announce her pregnancy before marriage while she tried to break the ‘stereotype’ by calling a ‘woman priest’ at the wedding then why not she announced her pregnancy before her marriage. To which, Dia Mirza gave off the obvious reply, well they didn’t get married because they were pregnant!
8. Mira Kapoor
Mira Kapoor got married in her early 20s to the Kabir Singh actor Shahid Kapoor. The couple announced their pregnancy soon after marriage, and netizens decided to shame and troll Mira Kapoor for getting pregnant at such an early age.
9. Neena Gupta
Neena Gupta was madly in love with Vivian Richards, who was West Indies cricket team captain then. However, Vivian was already married at that time, but despite knowing the fact that She and Vivian would have no future whatsoever, Neena Gupta decided to give birth to their daughter. However, when Vivian decided to stay with his wife, Neena Gupta chose to raise her daughter as a single parent and named her ‘Masaba Gupta’. However, the boss actress was trolled and bullied for her choices, and for getting pregnant outside marriage.
10. Amy Jackson
The Singh Is Bling actress Amy Jackson got the world by surprise back in 2019 January after she announced her pregnancy with her long-time beloved George Panayiotou soon after her engagement news. In March, the actress went on to disclose that she was 15 weeks pregnant with her boyfriend, and definitely got trolled for the same reason, as people called her out for getting pregnant without marriage.
