The actor has been outspoken about post-partum body issues and how it feels uncomfortable to see a mother breastfeeding her child in public.

The actress has frequently expressed her views on the importance of making new mothers feel normal while breastfeeding their children.
The actress shared a brief post on Freedom to Feed which read as, "The journey of a new mum is something only she can understand. While we all hear the happy side, it is also a huge responsibility and emotionally draining. It's hard enough to be a mum and do all that there is to do. The last thing we need is to be questioned, mocked and worst of all trolled. I went through the same beats and I know how hard it is."
