Why new-mom Aishwarya is not bothered about her weight

Guess Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has silenced all those interested in her weight issue and instead upped the bar for new moms in the glamour world. Ash does not like becoming a 'mannequin'.

"I have a very real approach to my life," the actress was quoted as saying by Aishwarya-spice.com.

She is one woman who loves to enjoy each phase of her life. And why not, when she so effortlessly sets trends!

She's been stepping out more frequently now and has even signed a whopping brand endorsement deal. New moms of Bollywood, who've been working out those flabs to return to the glamour world, have been left far behind.

Comments by her followers and fans on social networking sites speak out loud. Unlike some Bollywood mothers, she need not do item numbers to survive or gain attention, wrote some. Indeed, she's a brand unto herself and can set trends with her beliefs. And so when she says, "I like to be human and not lose myself in becoming a mannequin, which people in showbiz are accused of..." we cannot but agree.
