Shikha Singh was recently attacked for posting photos marked as “nude”. Now she answered the troll and explained that these were not nudes, she was just breastfeeding her one-year-old child. Recently, she appeared in a popular TV show Kumkum Bhagya.
Actress Shikha Singh posted a photo on Instagram earlier this week showing her curled up on a bed surrounded by white sheets. She had captioned it as, “Theme of the night was ‘Red’ #normalizenormalbodies.” The trolls immediately started commenting. One said, ” Didn’t expected this.” Another one wrote, “Ye expect nhi kiya tha apse.” One also wrote, “What is this mam.. Ohh no mam.”

Talking about the negative comments, Shikha Singh told a leading daily“I had once posted a picture feeding my baby and at that time too, I was questioned by people. Firstly, I don’t care about the comments and views of people and secondly, I want to normalize breastfeeding. The latest picture which I posted is also where I am feeding my baby. The picture is taken from an angle from which my child is not visible. I don’t understand why people have a problem. They are okay with bikini pictures, but if I post a picture like this, there is so much drama that happens. People even labeled that picture as a nude photo which it isn’t!”
Last year in June, Shikha welcomed her baby daughter Alayna. She has since been sharing pictures with the baby and the various milestone of her growth.
Earlier this month, the actor had shared a picture with the baby while she breastfed her. “We live in a society where a mother catches less hell for giving her toddler a coke than she does for giving her toddler Breastmilk. I am working to change that in my lifetime ~~~~ Deanna Decker #goalofourlife #imlovingit #beyourownkindofmom,” she captioned it.

The post was well-received by many of her industry friends. Supriya Shukla commented, “Superb Shikha I have fed my daughters in malls…Restaurants…Car…Nothing is more important than my child n her feeding…Luv u.” Supriya and Shikha Singh worked together on Kumkum Bhagya.
Ankita Bhatgava wrote, “Totally !!! I too am working towards Normalising what is the most NORMAL thing to do! Still have ppl close to me asking me to stop breastfeeding! Including The Gynacs and Peds doc Funny isn’t it! It’s ok to STEAL milk from a lactating ANIMAL and feed ur baby…. But it’s not ok to feed ur own baby with ur OWN MILK when they become toddlers? More power to YOU and all the breastfeeding Moms out there.” Kishwer Merchant and Ekta Kaul also showered the post with their love.
