Weeks after she was slammed by some Bollywood fans for not losing her baby weight quickly enough, Aishwarya Rai is now responding to the “fat” criticism.

The Indian actress, 38, who showed off her fabulous figure at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival last week, is speaking out on the negativity about her weight, her six-month old daughter Aaradhya, and how motherhood has changed both her life and body.

In the excerpts below from her interview with NDTV, Aishwarya gives a classy response when asked about the weight backlash, stating that the positive far outweighs the negative comments.

Aishwayra responds: “Firstly, as always, whenever there is the wave of opinions, and I’ve always said this, it’s the truth—I’m sure you will endorse it since you know the facts as well—the haters are a drop in the ocean. There’s that much more love, you know? So any kind of negativity in any case… it just doesn’t stick, it just drops off, it doesn’t matter at all.”

She continues, “There’s so much of love—people see the real picture, there’s so much love for this blessed experience. They’ve given me so much love throughout my career, throughout my life in the public eye, and at every phase… And now, the amount of love Abhishek and I and the family and Aaradhya have received—it’s blessed to be in this place, and I can only take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone for all their love and good wishes and blessings. That’s the real thing.”

Aish adds: “The rest of it is opinions, and they vary and it doesn’t matter. This is reality, this is who I am. I am a mother, and this (referring to her weight) can happen and it happened with me, and that’s fine! And that’s life! I’ve never been the one who endorsed size zero anyways—you guys speculated I was pregnant way before I was so many times! So it just goes to show that I have lived the real life in the public eye, and that continues. There are a lot of people out there that recognize that, see that, and share that energy with me, and that’s what matters: reality.”

Excellent response by Aishwayra!
