Times ruthless internet bullying targeted female actors vis-a-vis pregnancy
"Feminism isn't about making women stronger... It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength," said GD Anderson. Misogyny is a deep-rooted festering wound that permeates society, and even female actors aren't marked safe from it.

People too preoccupied with Katrina Kaif's potential pregnancy!
Katrina Kaif might be climbing the ladder of success in her career, but people seem to be more interested in her personal life and the timing of her baby.

Kareena Kapoor Khan has been bashed more than once!
Kareena Kapoor Khan has two sons, Taimur and Jeh. She has been at the receiving end of merciless trolling due to Taimur's name since it's the same as that of a notorious Turco-Mongol conqueror.

Alia Bhatt embraced motherhood "early in her career," or at least that's what armchair activists believe! Bhatt has been trolled for being pregnant before her wedding to Ranbir Kapoor, and to this day, you can find comments under her posts that scream "misogyny." It's bewildering how people don't realize that being pregnant before or after marriage is the couple's business and no one else's.
Ileana has been targeted for not revealing baby's father
Last month, Ileana D'Cruz announced her pregnancy on social media via adorable pictures and shared that she was ready to embark on the next phase of her life. It was, however, admittedly fearless of D'Cruz to not pander to age-old societal customs as she didn't reveal any details about the baby's father. Naturally, within hours, she got bashed for "disrespecting Indian culture."
