The second episode of Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle chat show had Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan as guests. In a talk with the hosts, Kajol and Twinkle, the 32-year-old discussed her postpartum weight loss after giving birth to her daughter Raha in November 2022. She also addressed the public scrutiny that followed, dispelling several myths about her postpartum experience.

Alia talks about her weight gain during pregnancy


Mothers often gain weight during pregnancy. Many people struggle to lose the excess weight they have accumulated. However, the rate is not consistent, and weight loss after birth varies from person to person.



Alia Bhatt lost weight quite swiftly. "After giving birth to Raha, I actually gained a lot of weight. I was breastfeeding, which burns a lot of calories, and I was eating healthily. So I lost a lot of weight really quickly," she explained.

Breastfeeding has been shown in studies to help some people lose weight, but the effect is typically minor and varies greatly depending on individual factors such as food, sleep, stress, and breastfeeding exclusivity and length.

Alia talks about breastfeeding and public scrutiny

Alia was breastfeeding, which contributed significantly to her calorie burn. Her healthy eating recommendations also helped to speed up the weight loss process.

Alia recalls being criticised after shedding pregnancy weight. Her ability to recover raised the possibility that she used 'unnatural techniques.' She shared, “I remember there was a picture that came out and they were like Oh my god, there were trolls, like she has done this through unnatural process. 'Why did she have to lose weight so quickly. It's fine, take your time, Alia.' I saw this and I was like ‘oh no, it just happened naturally this way’.”

Details on postpartum transformation 

It shows how women's bodies respond differently, depending on metabolism, lifestyle, genetics, and a variety of other factors that may influence the rate of postpartum weight loss. This does not imply that they are relying on any unconventional means for assistance. Even the basic act of breastfeeding, as Alia admitted, aids with weight loss. Weight loss does not necessarily involve tough regimens or sly tricks; natural activities can also assist burn calories.
