‘Nanny Hone Ke Baad Bhi Itna Natak’: Debina Bonnerjee faces MOM SHAMING online, actress REPLIES

Actress Debina Bonnerjee, a doting mother to two young daughters, recently opened up about the realities of motherhood through her Instagram stories. Sharing a candid glimpse of her life post-kids, Debina spoke about how parenting, though beautiful, can also be emotionally and physically demanding. While many of her followers appreciated her honesty, one user chose to troll the actress instead.

The user commented: Nanny ho ne ke bawjood itne natak kyun karte ho aaplog?—implying that despite having help, Debina’s parenting struggles were exaggerated.

Not one to let such mom-shaming slide, Debina responded with grace and wisdom. Sharing a screenshot of the message, she replied: Bless you have two children, then you will understand this feeling. Even if you have a house full of people, you are the only person they would want to be with.

Debina’s response underlines a universal truth that many parents, especially mothers, can relate to: children seek comfort in their parents, and no amount of external support can replace the presence and emotional labor a mother puts in.

Debina, who often shares snippets of her family life on social media, has been admired for her real and raw portrayal of motherhood. This incident highlights how even public figures are not spared from unsolicited judgments—but also how standing up with empathy and clarity can shift the narrative.

For those who do not know, Debina Bonnerjee, best known for her iconic portrayal of Sita in the mythological show Ramayan, has been a beloved face in Indian television for years. She is married to actor Gurmeet Choudhary, and the couple is one of the most admired pairs in the industry. After being in a strong relationship for over a decade, the two tied the knot in 2011. Their journey into parenthood was equally heartfelt. Debina conceived her first child, daughter Lianna, in early 2022, and just months later, she gave birth to their second daughter in the same year. Her experience of embracing motherhood twice in quick succession has been both joyful and challenging, something she often shares with honesty and grace on her social platforms.
