Addressing the commenter, Chhavi wrote, "Well, dear "Ab Bas", I just want to say, ab bas. Let's stop women body shaming women. My hands do a lot for my kids and my community. They may look their age (which is 40) or may look more. But one thing they always do is make me look and feel amazing. Also, calling someone "skinny" is as disrespectful as calling them fat."


She concluded by asking her followers if they had ever been body shamed, sharing, "Dear mothers, have you ever been body shamed?"

Earlier today Chhavi shared a positive post about taking it slow, sharing the image of herself in a bright orange tunic, she wrote, "Stress is directly proportionate to the pace at which we perform. Running against time, always in a rush to achieve, complete, fulfill. Today, pace it down. Stop multitasking. Push it back. Heal. Think. Meditate. Calm down. Relax. Pause. (sic)"
