MUMBAI, India: Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi has spoken out against social media criticism of actress Katrina Kaif over changes in her weight following childbirth.

In an interview, Oberoi urged people to avoid negative comments about Kaif, saying there were many more positive things to focus on rather than criticizing others.

Oberoi said gaining weight after becoming a mother was a natural process and added that Kaif could regain her fitness when she returned to films.

Earlier, actor Salman Khan also criticized people who mock celebrities over their appearance, body shape and personal lives on social media during a recent episode of his reality show Bigg Boss 20.

Pakistani singer Ali Zafar has also expressed support for Kaif, sharing a video clip in her defense.

Indian media reports reveal that veteran Bollywood actress Hema Malini had once hoped for her only son, Abhishek Bachchan, to become the husband of fellow actress Isha Deol.

During a recent interview on director Karan Johar’s show, Johar asked Isha if her mother had ever mentioned wanting her to marry Abhishek. Isha responded, “My mother is incredibly sweet.

She mentioned Abhishek in front of me because he was one of the most eligible bachelors at the time. She wanted me to marry a good person, and she thought Abhishek would be perfect for me. But I didn’t want to marry him. To me, Abhishek felt like an elder brother, so I politely declined my mother’s wish.”

When asked if her mother had later suggested Vivek Oberoi for marriage, Isha firmly denied it, saying, “Mothers can think a lot of things, but definitely not Vivek. He’s not my type.”

For context, Isha Deol married Bharat Takhtani in 2012. The couple welcomed their first daughter in 2017 and their second in 2019. In 2024, after 12 years of marriage, Isha Deol and Bharat Takhtani announced their separation.
