Ali Zafar has spoken up in support of his former Bollywood co-star Katrina Kaif after the actress faced criticism over her appearance following the birth of her first child. The Pakistani singer and actor shared a message against judging women for changes in their bodies and personal lives.
Ali Zafar and Katrina Kaif previously worked together in the Bollywood film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. The film also featured Imran Khan and became one of their notable projects. Ali later returned to Pakistan as political tensions affected opportunities for Pakistani artists in India.
Katrina Kaif recently became a mother after welcoming her first child with husband Vicky Kaushal. The couple has largely kept their family life private since the arrival of their son. Katrina has also taken a break from her film commitments during this new phase of her life.
Ali Zafar Speaks Out Against Body Shaming
Katrina Kaif recently made a public appearance after becoming a mother, and her changed appearance became a topic of discussion online. Some social media users criticised her weight and appearance instead of allowing her time to adjust to life after childbirth.
Ali Zafar noticed the criticism and decided to address the issue publicly. He shared a strong message on Instagram while supporting Katrina and speaking against the way people judge women.
The singer said that it is time to stop judging women. He also pointed out that people go through different phases in their lives and that judging them unnecessarily is wrong.
Ali’s statement highlighted the pressure women often face over their appearance, particularly during major life changes. Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring many physical and emotional changes, and Ali stressed the importance of allowing people to experience those phases without unnecessary judgment.
His support also carries a personal connection, as he had previously worked with Katrina. Their collaboration in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan remains one of the projects that connects the two stars.
Ali’s message quickly attracted attention online. Several people praised him for speaking up against body shaming and supporting Katrina. One person commented, “This is why you are my favourite,” while another wrote, “Jeo aur jeenay do.”

Another social media user highlighted the wider issue of women judging other women. The discussion has once again drawn attention to the unrealistic expectations placed on women regarding their appearance.
Katrina has not allowed the online discussion to overshadow this new chapter of her life. As she adjusts to motherhood, Ali Zafar’s message has added an important perspective to the conversation surrounding postpartum bodies and public scrutiny.
