Actor Patralekhaa slammed paparazzi pages for comments about her appearance following the birth of her child, saying her weight gain is a natural result of pregnancy. Patralekhaa and husband, actor Rajkummar Rao, were recently seen attending the premiere of their maiden production Toaster which premiered on Netflix. The actor was subjected to a wave of body-shaming, with several social media pages targeting her appearance. In response to the trolling, Patralekhaa shared a brief note. "Pap pages! What's happened to me is that I have just given birth.

 

Yes I have gained the weight, which seems like an unnatural phenomenon to you all. I have not sat and eaten a mountain, I just delivered a baby and produced two films simultaneously which are not easy jobs," she said. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in November 2025. Patralekhaa, known for movies and shows such as Citylights, Phule and IC 814, said her body's response to pregnancy was not within her control. "If I could I would not be this way. But that's how my body has reacted to pregnancy," she wrote, before signing off with a appeal for basic empathy - "For God's sake please learn to be a little kind," she concluded.
