Popular actress Shikha Singh, known for starring in the long-running hit Hindi serial Kumkum Bhagya, recently posted a topless picture on Instagram a few days back in which she was seen leaning down on her bed, whilst surrounded by white sheets. The picture was captioned, "Theme of the night was 'Red' #normalizenormalbodies." The topless photo subsequently received a huge backlash from trolls online, who immediately bombarded her comments sections where one wrote, "Didn't expect this", while another user said, "What is this mam.. Ohh no mam."

Speaking to a leading daily about the negative comments, Shikha Singh said, "I had once posted a picture feeding my baby and at that time too, I was questioned by people. Firstly, I don't care about the comments and views of people and secondly, I want to normalise breastfeeding. The latest picture which I posted is also where I am feeding my baby. The picture is taken from an angle from which my child is not visible. 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 labeled that picture as a nude photo which it isn’t!"

In June last year, Shikha was blessed with a baby daughter whom she named Alayna and has since often shared pictures, while also informing fans on the various developments in her life. The actress had earlier this month posted a photo of her baby where she is seen breastfeeding her. Sharing the picture, Shika wrote, "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." The post received a positive response from many in the television industry, including her Kumkum Bhagya co-star Supriya Shukla who said, "Superb shikha I have fed my daughters in malls...Restaurants...Car..Nothing is more important than my child n her feeding...Luv u."
