When it comes to criticism about her post-baby body, even the mostbeautiful woman in the world can't catch a break. Former Miss World (and one of Bollywood's biggest stars) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan --who gave birth last November to daughter Aaradhya with husband Abhishek Bachchan --is being slammed in her native India by film fans, on blogs, andin entertainment columns for not dropping her baby-weight fastenough, with many arguing the star, 38, has a "duty" to hersupporters to keep up her image. PHOTOS: Celeb moms on the go In a particularly cruel example of the harsh criticism being lobbedRai's way, a site posted a video of the actress, juxtaposing imagesof her pre- and post-baby--overlaid with the sound of elephantstrumpeting. The clip has been viewed more than 500,000 times.(Other sites have followed suit, with similar view counts). "She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good andfit," one video commenter sniped. Another suggested she "needs tolearn from people like Victoria Beckham who are back to size zeroweeks after their delivery." PHOTOS: Famous moms' words of wisdom Showbusiness columnist Shobhaa De opened up to the New York Daily News about the vitriol Rai faces. "Aishwarya is like a goddess. She is held up as the ideal of beautyand so there is an expectation on her to look perfect at alltimes," De told the paper. "The role models being held up are Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham. . .this whole business of looking desperately skinny two weeksafter giving birth is a Western import." PHOTOS: Hollywood families--they're just like us! Some commenters have rushed to the actress' defense. "She is a realwoman looking after a baby. We should be concern [sic] for herhealth and happiness especially if she is nursing the baby," onereader wrote. "Not the Western belief of expecting people in thespot light to lose all weight in month." Rai, for her part, has said she just wants to "enjoymotherhood"--and not stress about the number on a scale.
