New mom Aishwarya Rai is happy playing a doting mother for the time being. No wonder that losing weight is the last thing on her mind right now. And we certainly don't mind it as the diva looks comfortable in her skin.

Since the birth of her daughter in November last year, Aishwarya has been open about the fact that she is in no hurry to lose the few extra pounds she gained during her pregnancy. The actress defended her choice, saying she wanted simply to enjoy motherhood.

But with the star, who married Abhishek Bachchan, tipped for her 10th appearance at Cannes, furious speculation is mounting as to how she will look. Commentators have been unkind, lambasting the star for letting her fans down. Many have gone a step further, suggesting the star has a duty to her fans to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.

One website posted a video of the star looking less than her usual svelte self, flicking between photographs of her pre-birth, and photos now. Called Aishwarya Rais shocking weight gain, the clip, which came accompanied by elephant sound effects, has been seen more than 500,000 times.

Dozens of similar videos have been posted, each with viewing figures in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Comments left after the video proves that many of those watching have little sympathy for Aishwarya.

She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good and fit, the Daily Mail quoted one comment.

She needs to learn from people like Victoria Beckham who are back to size zero weeks after their delivery, another said.

It has opened up a debate in the country, and beyond, about the attitudes held towards women in the public eye. Some unkind fans have compared Aishwarya to Victoria Beckham, saying she should lose weight as quickly as Victoria did after her four pregnancies.

Aishwarya is like a goddess, said show business columnist Shobhaa De in the New York Daily News by way of explanation.

She is held up as the ideal of beauty and so there is an expectation on her to look perfect at all times. The role models being held up are Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham, but our body frames are different we have wider hips and curves so this whole business of looking desperately skinny two weeks after giving birth is a western import, she said.
