Zareen Khan slams trolls for age-shaming: Will marriage make me young again?

India Today26-07-2025
Actor Zareen Khan recently shut down an ageist troll in the most epic way. After a user commented on one of her Instagram posts saying, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old), Khan posted a video calling out the regressive mindset. She questioned why marriage is often seen as the solution to every problem in life, especially for women, and delivered a strong message against societal pressure.advertisementIn the video, the 'Ready' actor said, 'Lately maine comments read kiye apne posts pe. Aur ek comment hai jo bohot zyada stand out kiya -'Shaadi kar lo buddhi ho rahi ho.' Toh kya shaadi karne ke baad main fir se jawan ho jaungi? (Recently, I was reading the comments on my posts, and one comment really stood out — 'Get married, you're getting old.' So if I get married, will I become young again?) What does this even mean?' (laughs)Taking her point further, she added, 'I don't know if this mindset exists only in our country or if it's a universal problem, but somehow marriage seems to be the ultimate solution for everything.'
Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zareen Khan (@zareenkhan)Khan didn't hold back as she slammed the way families often treat marriage as a fix for everything, whether someone is unemployed, aimless, or simply becoming 'too independent.''I mean, how is that a solution? A person who can't even take responsibility for their own life - you want to add another person to that mess? Then they'll end up ruining not only their own life but the other person's too. And if a boy or girl is becoming too independent, or 'out of control' as they say in our society, the parents' biggest fear is: 'She's slipping out of our hands.' And again, the fix is: 'Get her married,'' she said.Zareen concluded her fiery reply by questioning if marriage is some kind of miracle. 'Is marriage some kind of magic? Like once you're married, everything will just fall into place? Because from what I see these days, most marriages don't even last beyond 2–3 months. So no, I definitely don't think marriage is the solution to every problem.'Zareen Khan, who debuted with Salman Khan's 'Veer' in 2010, was last seen in 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele' in 2021.- EndsMust Watch

Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee's cryptic ‘baby reveal' post leaves fans guessing

Did Tiffany Haddish just welcome a baby with longtime friend, and Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee? One mysterious Instagram post followed by complete radio silence has sent fans spiraling. The 45-year-old actress and comedian shared a picture of herself on her Instagram handle on August 4, holding a baby, alongside Jason Lee and a stroller, with the caption, 'Cats out the bag ❤️'. No context, no backstory, just vibes - and a whole lot of social media speculation! Tiffany Haddish fuels new baby rumours with cryptic Instagram post that has fans buzzing.(AFP) Debunking the Instagram post The first image shows the Girls Trip actress wearing a cropped denim dress, all smiles, while holding a confused-looking baby in a blue beanie and tiny Jordans, with Lee (who is openly gay) standing next to her, wearing a white graphic t-shirt and holding onto a green stroller. The second image zooms into what appears to be the happy family, with the pair looking lovingly at the child. Fans wasted no time getting their Sherlock Holmes' gear on, as their speculations and a frenzy of humorous reactions sent the internet into overdrive. Comments and fan reactions Actress and director Tasha Smith was among the confused batch of commentators, wondering 'What does this mean', while a fan confessed, 'What is the cat because I just see you and tiff with someone baby,' and a third went, 'Someone go get the cat, I got questions 🤔.' While congratulatory comments gushed in, there are several theories in the air - adoption, surrogacy, wedding rumours, and even questions about the image being AI generated.

However, it is common knowledge that Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee are not involved in a romantic relationship, despite having been very close for a long time. Fans are linking this back to a November 2024 episode of Hollywood Unlocked, where the pair engaged in a humorous exchange about going splitsies on a baby. 'You did promise me you would give me a kid,' Lee, 47, reminded Haddish, 'So I had Cardi B here, she's already said she'll be my kid's godmother. You said you would give me a kid. Are you serious about that?' Haddish responded, 'Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about the cost of… 'cause I said I wanted to do it the old fashioned way—you said no. So I want to talk to you about the cost of [having a baby].' What once seemed like a lighthearted joke now has fans wondering if something actually happened behind the scenes.

Keeping aside all the detective equipment, there have been no statements from either Haddish or Lee confirming or denying anything. Bottom line, the cat is still pretty much in the bag - maybe the comedian is having a good laugh at everyone's expense, or maybe she is actually a mother now, in which case, congrats to the new mom!

Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson househunting already? Actor sells NYC home for $10.3M

Is Liam Neeson already moving in with his new lady, Pamela Anderson? According to TMZ reports, the Star Wars actor just sold his 4,524-square-foot in the exclusive Park Millennium building in Lincoln Square for a massive, massive price - a whopping $10.3 million. Despite no official statement, the couple made headlines recently when the Baywatch star posted a series of pictures with her Naked Gun co-star, advertising the release of the movie - leading fans to speculate about a newly brewing romance. Could this new move (literally!) mean the rumoured couple is already taking their relationship to the next level? Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's sizzling chemistry both on and off screen is undeniable!(Evan Agostini/AP) Peek inside the $10.75M listing The luxurious unit boasts breathtaking views of Central Park, with even a peek at the Hudson River. Inside, the five-bedroom condo features a window-wrapped eat-in kitchen, a sun-drenched family room ideal for catching both sunrise and sunset, and a sky-high primary suite complete with two spa-inspired bathrooms, a boudoir, and a private home gym. Residents enjoy premium amenities including 24/7 doorman service, a concierge, and access to an in-building Equinox outfitted with a pool and basketball court. Neeson first listed the residence in 2024 for $12.75 million, pulled it off the market, and re-listed it this year at $10.75 million. He's owned the home since 1999. Lovers, friends... or more? Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's rumored romance has continued to spark intrigue ever since the promotional trail for their film The Naked Gun began. While neither star has officially confirmed a relationship, their undeniable on-screen chemistry, flirty interviews, cozy social media posts and home-baked cookies and sourdough from Pamela have kept fans buzzing. Adding fuel to the speculation, Anderson recently shared a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram with a cheeky caption inviting 'friends, family, lovers… whoever' to catch the film in theatres - prompting many to wonder which category Neeson falls into. Sister-in-law's seal of approval? What's especially caught attention is a quiet nod of approval from Joely Richardson, the younger sister of Neeson's late wife, Natasha Richardson. As per a report in The New York Post, Joely seems to support the potential romance, a gesture that hasn't gone unnoticed. The fact that Neeson, who once publicly declared he was 'past all that' when it came to dating, now appears side-by-side with Anderson at premieres - alongside both their sons - has fans convinced something more than friendship may be brewing. And with Neeson's own admission that he was 'madly in love' with Anderson and found her 'terrific to work with,' it's no wonder the rumor mill isn't slowing down anytime soon. While Anderson and Neeson have yet to confirm anything, their on-screen chemistry, joint appearances, and now a possible shared real estate move has fans rife with speculations. Their red carpet moment with both their sons only added to the excitement - and for many, it's starting to look a lot like more than just a movie promotion.
