MUMBAI: Television actress Sayantani Ghosh has taken to her social media account in slamming reports of her pregnancy and putting an end to the rumours.
Putting her point loud and clear, Sayanatani wrote, “I AM NOT PREGNANT!! In a recent interview I was asked if I was pregnant?? And the reason for people to speculate this just blew my mind — because in recent times I have been seen wearing more loose and flowy clothes. Like, really, WHAT THE HELL?” she wrote, adding an angry emoticon.
“Sadly, this is what we call a modern and forward-thinking society. Still so typical in our thought process! There is so much noise around women's empowerment, yet we hardly bat an eyelid before judging and reaching conclusions about women! WHAT AN IRONY, ” she stated with a slow clap emoticon. The actress, further highlighting the insensitivity attached to the rumours, wrote, “Another point added to the list of judgements that I have faced over the years! Such a level of insensitivity is so sad and ridiculous! We might say things casually, but it’s high time we realised that such low judgements can create mental havoc and get one into the trap of self-doubt. We need to act more responsibly.”
Ghosh, shedding light on the rumours, stated, “So here’s the truth—I am a 41-year-old married non-pregnant woman. I wear comfortable clothing because I prefer it that way. With age, my body has changed — it is a certain type now, and there is no shame about it! I looked a particular way in my 20s and 30s, and now I am what I am. I owned it then; I own it now! I was confident then; I am confident now! As they say, “change is the biggest constant in life.”
