Neha Dhupia: “Tried To Ensure That The Conversation On Breastfeeding Doesn’t Die Down”

Neha Dhupia is trying to ensure that the conversation around body image of women post-pregnancy, as well as a mother’s right to breastfeed, doesn’t die down.

“I’ve been lucky enough to find safe spaces in hotel bathrooms or someone’s house or a trailer to breastfeed (her daughter) Mehr. But there are women, especially in rural areas, that are still grappling with such nuances, and struggling to talk about it. I’m not the first person to speak openly about breastfeeding. There have been others who have blazed a trail before me. But what I’ve tried to ensure is that the conversation doesn’t die down. It’s okay to talk about it, or be nervous, or even confused, but it is not okay to be apologetic about it,” she said.

Neha Dhupia, who has her podcast #NoFilterNeha going, mentioned self-acceptance is important for every woman to deal with such transformative phase.
