My baby, my vagina: Richa Chadha on criticism over natural birth remark

India Today17-07-2025
Actor Richa Chadha recently addressed social media criticism after she shared a birthday post dedicated to daughter Zuneyra. She got into a heated debate with an Instagram user who objected to her mentioning the term - "natural birth".Richa, while expressing gratitude over Zuneyra's first birthday, wrote a heartfelt note on Instagram. Her post titled, "Thank you Zuni," read, "For bringing so much colour into all our lives! A year ago I gave birth to a healthy baby girl at Breach Candy Hospital. Labour lasted a few hours, delivery only about 20 minutes, natural birth! Life hasn't been the same since, particularly me."advertisementIt further read, "I feel rearranged from the insides out my brain, my heart, my body, my soul Zuneyra was born a year ago and so was I. Reborn as a mom. An entirely new being, than what existed before. A life and child with the man of your dreams if this isn't a blessing I don't know what is."
While reacting to the note, an Instagram user commented, "Every birth is natural, thanks to science nowadays they're being assisted to help the Mom and the kid." The 'Fukrey 3' actor replied, "If I said normal delivery, you'd have said the same thing."Another user responded to Richa and mentioned, "Please, the word normal meant everything to every mother. Don't say it like that because it hurts others who feel like they don't have the mind and zeal to go through it so saying it like that is normal is traumatising and, if you meant the other way around to say normal delivery, then even the ones that are Caesarian is normal because over 50% of women are doing it."The actor addressed the comment and wrote, "But what if I don't want to say vaginal delivery? It is my page and also my vagina and my baby. And feminism taught me to use words of my choosing. So."Along with her gratitude note, Richa also added a video montage. It featured Ali Fazal touching Richa's baby bump, getaways where the couple enjoys quality time together, and snippets of Zuneyra playing with their cat.Watch video here: Richa and Ali welcomed Zuneyra on July 16, 2024.

Salman Khan was recently spotted in Mumbai, but unlike his usual interactions with the paparazzi, the actor chose to cover his face this time. The incident took place on Friday and quickly made its way to social media. Many started speculating that Salman may be hiding his look for his upcoming film titled Battle of Galwan. In the video, Salman is seen lowering his car's sun visor and later using his hand to avoid being photographed. Take a look below: Salman Khan was also spotted in Mumbai earlier this week in a transformed look. The actor, who has been teasing snippets of his transformation on Instagram from his intense gym sessions, was finally seen live in his full look for the much-awaited patriotic drama Battle of Galwan. Wearing a black t-shirt, Salman Khan was seen driving his SUV as he left a venue in Mumbai. What stood out right away was his short buzz cut and thick moustache, which seemed to match the look of a military officer. His serious expression and noticeably stronger build added to the tough look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manav Manglani (@ Salman will soon be seen playing an Army officer in Battle of Galwan, which is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The actor has already begun preparing for the film, which is expected to involve intense action sequences and physically demanding scenes. Speaking to PTI recently about the preparation for the film, Salman had said, 'It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day, every hour, it gets more and more difficult. But, you have to give it a lot more time now. Pehle ek do hafte mein ho jata tha, abhi thoda sa zyada time lagta hai. But, I have been working out, kicking, punching, and all that stuff. Iss film mein woh sab karne ki zaroorat hai." He also shared details about the challenging shoot locations. 'Shooting in Ladakh, high altitude, aisa na ho ke action karte karte behosh ho jao. So, for that, training is very important. Sign karte waqt aisa laga 'it is amazing', but it is a very difficult film to do because from 20 days in Ladakh, 7-8 days will be in the water, thanda thanda paani (smiles)," he added. Salman has confirmed that filming begins this month. The film also stars Chitrangada Singh, and it will be the first time the two actors share screen space.
