Deepa Bhullar Khosla’s outspoken words on stretch marks, said – this is proof that a life has been born in me

Being a mother is a matter of achievement for a woman, but after becoming a mother, women often suffer from an inferiority complex about the kind of physical changes they have to go through. With exercise, women reduce their belly but the stretch marks remain the same. They are usually trying to hide them. Recently, well-known influencer and model Deepa Bhullar Khosla shared a beautiful message about body positivity by showing her stained stomach on Instagram in a bold style. Before Deepa, actresses like Priya Ahuja, Malaika Arora, Kamya Punjabi, Urvashi Dholakia, Chhavi Mittal have also been advocating body positivity by showing their stretchmarked abs without any shame.

‘How unsightly it looks due to stretch marks, its stomach, how flat and smooth like butter used to be’
‘What is the need to wear the saree so low that it shows the stains and unsightliness of the stomach’

These are some of the things that every woman who has become a mother has to go through the shame, apprehension and fear of hearing. Every mother has to face ‘postpartum changes’ after the delivery of the baby. Postpartum changes refer to the physical changes that come after delivery, in which the skin of the abdomen becomes dangling as well as stretch marks. She feels ashamed about them. Before pregnancy, where she used to wear navel display, sari or top with great pride, after the birth of the child, the process of hiding the stomach in shame starts. Recently, Deepa Bhullar Khosla shared a post with two of her pictures on Instagram in a cool style. In one picture, her stomach is hidden by high waist panties, but in the second picture she is seen smiling and her stretchmarked tummy is clearly visible just below the navel. Deepa became a mother some time back. Through his post, he has given a message to all the mothers that stomach stains are not a matter of shame but a matter of pride.

Deepa’s strong message on body positivity
Deepa wrote in her post, ‘Curious how my postpartum body will look between 3 to 5 months of delivery! Everyone wanted to know that I have regained my figure very quickly, so I want to show them the truth that how your body changes after the birth of a child. Till now I am not used to my extra skin and am surrounded by my insecurities. Although I am doing healthy diet and exercising for fitness, I am aware of the fact that my body will never be the same and I have no objection to it. This body of mine was once another man’s home. It is the same body that nurtured the child I am carrying in my arms today. These are the marks of motherhood. I have decided to adopt them with pride. I will try my best to get back to my old physique but I will try to dress and look the way I want, that too with pride and achievement. After this post of Deepa, users were convinced of her honesty towards her body and praised her attitude towards body positivity.

stretch marks like tattoos
Generally women may feel ashamed to show abdominal stretch marks, but Malaika Arora, who is called the Diva of Bollywood, has been trolled many times due to her stomach stretch marks. Despite this, he has proudly flaunted his stretch marks every time. Why Malaika, when TV actress Urvashi Dholakia faced trolling for her bikini post, she gave a befitting reply to the trolls. Urvashi says, ‘After becoming a mother, people try to bully women for wearing clothes, but who has made these rules? If anyone has guts, then stop me and show me. i love my body Stretch marks are just scars, like a tattoo. My stretch marks are proof that a life has been born in me and no one can take it away from me.’

Marks showing proudly with swimsuit
Actress Priya Ahuja recently proudly flaunted her stretch marks in a swimsuit on Instagram. Priya wrote, ‘Yes, I am laughing because now I do not have the perfect body as before. I have lots of stretch marks on my body. My skin has also become loose and I am still proud of my body because I have given birth to a new life. My stomach was the home of that new life for 9 months. Actress Kamya Punjabi also wrote a positive post about loving her body and accepting it ‘as it is’, ‘My body is my canvas. Each mark tells a story and reminds me how brave I am. The weight that I kept on and off because of my baby and my love for food, all tell a story. I am very proud of this canvas of mine. Popular actress Chhavi Mittal, in one of her social media posts, appealed to pregnant women to focus on being mentally and physically fit and not think about stretch marks or increased weight.

What do the doctors have to say?
Vinay Jacob, Plastic Surgeon of JJ Hospital, says, “I get two-three cases a week for those who want to remove stretch marks from their abdomen. It is not possible to delete them. Anyone who claims to have eradicated them is a lie. A young mother can get some help with a tummy tuck procedure. Many times people want to resort to surgery like liposuction for this, but even that surgery does not remove them completely and it is very expensive. At the same time, Firoza Parikh, Head of Gynecologist, Jaslok Hospital, says, ‘Stretch marks are a part of pregnancy. These are not scars on your body but a sign of motherhood. It is very natural, there is no need to be ashamed of it.
