“They Are Okay With Bikini Pictures” Says Shikha Singh Who Was Trolled For Breastfeeding Post

Actor Shikha Singh, who was recently trolled for sharing “nude” pictures, clarified that those pictures were in fact of her breastfeeding her one-year-old baby.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Singh responded to the trolling and cleared the air around her latest pictures. Earlier this week, the television actor had posted a picture that shows her leaning on the bed with white bedsheets wrapped around her. The Kumkum Bhagya actor confirmed that she posted those pictures “to normalise breastfeeding”.

Speaking of the comments that were made on her pictures, she said, “I had once posted a picture feeding my baby and at that time too, I was questioned by people”.

Trolls on social media were quick to reach the comment section to express their disappointment and asserted that they didn’t expect this from the actor.

Shikha Singh further explained that those pictures were where she was feeding her child.  “The picture is taken from an angle from which my child is not visible.

She said, "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 labelled that picture as a nude photo which it isn’t!” she added.

The actor welcomed her baby daughter Alayna in June last year and has been continuously sharing updates about her on social media.

Among one of those posts, Singh featured her child 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 wrote.

Television actor Shikha Singh is primarily known for her role in the popular drama series Kumkum Bhagya. She made her debut with the SAB TV show Left Right Left as Cadet Aakriti Bhat and later featured in the show titled Meri Doli Tere Angana. Besides these projects, Singh was also seen in the role of Shikhandi in the TV show Mahabharat.
