Celina Jaitly writes a strong letter about trolling ahead of International Women's Day
Ahead of International Women's Day, Celina Jaitly took to Instagram and shared a powerful letter talking about her most trolled photograph. Sharing the picture again in which she can be seen wearing a swimsuit while breastfeeding one of her twins, Celina wrote, "With #womensday coming up there is something I really want to talk about, how women are judged for not following the preconceived norms of being a mother, a woman even in today’s times. This was the most trolled photograph of me with my one month old #twinboys on the internet when it was first posted. While the #bikini had a lot to do with the trolling I remember I was attacked for placing one of my love cakes ( baby winston) next to me and not holding him in my arms. I was called everything from being a w*tch to being a w#@re to being inconsiderate and what not."
Further talking about how people threw their judgments on her without understanding what went behind the scenes, she said, "What went on behind scenes is that babies don’t always want to be held. They love to kick their legs and feel free. When you have twins you are also always switching between babies according to their needs. Viraaj in my lap had just finished feeding and Winston wanted to kick about and enjoy the sunshine and soak the vitamin D. I was judged, trolled, called names for wearing a swimsuit ( At a swimming pool by the way ). My husband @peterhaag was there throughout while our friend celebrated #lebanese photographer Maha Nasra Edde’ made these beautiful memories for us. No one once thought of showing any consideration. I was being shamed for being a human, for not loosing my identity just because I became a mother, for my mothering skills which did not fit in with preconceived expectations."
Further Celina added something powerful her husband told her that day and how it remained with her till now. My husband @peterhaag said something very powerful that day , he said I must focus on reclaiming my power & courage in a culture of shame. I have always held that close to my mind whenever I am judged for going against the flow. I would want to say only one thing-if people are trying to bring you down, it only means that you are above them, don’t let anyone tell you to tone down your authentic self. " she concluded.
