The Western media is shocked at the criticism Aishwarya has been receiving in her home country, India. It is quite ironic because India is known to be welcome to all shapes and sizes unlike the West which has strict rules for celebrities to be stick thin, yet here the West is shocked at the level at which Ash is being slammed for having a few extra pounds on her body!

She was among the top trends all over the world in Yahoo and MSN. Trended at #1 on Yahoo and #3 on MSN worldwide. Every single major publication in the world - Huffingtion Post, Daily Mail, US Magazine, ABC News, Perez Hilton, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, BBC and many more of such sites. Some other snapshots of the sites that covered the issue:

I WILL SAY IT FOR ONE TIME SHE IS NOT INTERNATOINAL STAR
BUT B/C INDIAN IN SO MANY COUNTRIES ( ARABIAN GOLF . AUSTRALIA .US .UK ......)BESIDE MORE THAN BILLION IN INDIA
AND SO MANY OF THEM USE INTERNET (IN RECENT STATISTICAL THE INDIAN COME AFTER US IN THE NUMBER OF THE USER OF FACE BOOK 51 MILLIONS)
THAT WHY YOU WILL FIND THE NEWS OF AISH AND OTHERS IN THIS NEWSPAPERS AND WEBSITES....
AND THAT WHY THIS INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES CONTRACTS WITH HER
AND CANNES INVITE HER AND OTHER INDIAN TO ENCOURAGE THE RICH INDIAN TO GO THERE AND RENT YACHTS
I THINK SHE IS NOT BETTER ACTRESS THAN (WAHEEDA .JAYA.TABU .ZEENAT .REKHA .SRIDEVI ......)
YES SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL .SMART . SPECIAL BETWEEN THE RECENT ACTRESSES BUT NOT THE BEST IN THE INDIAN CINEMA ..SHE IS JUST LUCKY SHE BECAME STAR WHEN INDIA BECAME HUGE AND IMPORTANT .....
POST IT PLEASE

Instead of supporting Ash, Indians are so quick to focus on the negative. If it were not for Ash, western counties especially the US would not know what Bollywood is or represents lets be honest! She gained weight so what!!!!!! She is the hottest commodity to come out of Bollywood and put Indian cinema on the map. Shame on all indian journalist for focusing on the negative when they should kiss the floor she walks on for giving them a job in the first place .. Disgusting all of you..   Especially those who say she has diabetes or thyroid problems are u f**** kidding me! She had a baby and gained weight, she still looks 10 times better then all these people claim she has a duty to get back to her weight. Go f*** yourself

Just go to Twitter and search for Aishwarya Rai. There are hundreds of Westerners who are lamblasting Indians for being so cruel to a new mom. Go Ash

Ok I am not so sure about ppl jumping to conclusions and criticizing her about her weight gain cause we don't know she might have some health issue or something and that is why she is unable to lose weight, but how come this thing came out all of a sudden in media sources around the world all together???

There is only one explanation, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did it herself to pre-empt media from criticizing her for her weight gain during her Cannes appearance. Wow ARB, I didn't know your brain worked like this!!!

Even the West thinks Indians are unfair to Ash. It just proves my point that Aishwarya would be way more loved and way more popular if she was born in another country. Indians believe in pulling down each other. And her weight issue is nothing but schadenfreude! Indian mentality sucks.

Go Aishwarya

You enjoy your time with your daughter while the media constantly talks about you. She's been through worse times with the media so I'm sure she's not even bothered much about all this.

The woman hasn't been working for 2 yrs yet the media doesn't let up. The international media supports her more than the Indian media too.
