Actress Chhavi Mittal is a fitness enthusiast and keeps sharing workout videos on her social media. She recently posted a workout video of 15 minutes for which she received some negativity from her social media followers.
A woman commented on her post and called her out for focussing more on herself and work rather than taking care of her children. She wrote, “Where are your kids when you are making this video? Yeah maybe with the servants!! Ms So not superwoman #pretentious (sic)”
Chhavi, who is known as someone who never minces her words, addressed this comment by sharing it on her Instagram along with a long note. She wrote, “This question came on “14 day detox diet” video. Here’s my reply: I shot this video at 11pm in the night, after finishing all my office work, domestic work and after putting both kids to bed, when I got my “me” time. It took me 15 minutes to shoot because I didn’t memorize or prepare anything, I just spoke from my heart. That was your answer.”

She further added, “But the reason to put this comment out here is to ask a question of my own. When will mothers stop putting other mothers down? When will we stop undermining and “judging” working mothers? For all mothers who are asked such questions implying, ‘just because you are working you are jeopardizing your child’s future’, remember, you are doing your best. You are teaching your little girl the importance of being independent, and you are teaching your little boy the importance of women’s independence. And for mothers who are trying to do something of their own while being at home, ditch the guilt, embrace your strength.”
