Zareen Khan gives a befitting REPLY to ageist troll telling her to get married: 'Kya shaadi karne ke baad…'
Zareen Khan
recently gave a savage and witty reply to an ageist troll who left a rude comment on one of her Instagram posts. The troll wrote, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old).
But Zareen wasn't having it.
Instead of ignoring the comment, she chose to respond in a smart and sharp video on Instagram, where she openly mocked the logic behind it. Her response was bold, hilarious, and thought-provoking—all at once.
Zareen's savage reply
In the video, Zareen said she had come across a comment that stood out more than the rest. She shared,
'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? What does this even mean? (laughs).'
Society's obsession with marriage
Zareen didn't stop there. She went on to highlight how marriage is often treated as the answer to everything in life, especially in Indian society. She said, '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.' She questioned why people rush to suggest marriage as a fix for every personal or social issue.

And why, especially for women, being unmarried is seen as a problem that must be 'solved'.
When people aren't doing much…
Zareen then spoke about how families often use marriage as a solution when someone isn't doing anything productive in life. She explained, 'If someone is not working of doing anything productive in life, the family's go-to solution is: 'Get them married.' 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.
So I don't think this would work.'
She says independent girls get judged too
Zareen also called out how society fears independent women. She said, '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'.'
Marriage is not magic
Taking a dig at the way marriage is treated like a miracle cure, Zareen asked the question, '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.'
Her career began with 'Veer'
Zareen Khan made her debut in 2010 with
Salman Khan
's period drama 'Veer'. Before entering Bollywood, she was working as a makeup artist. Her career started on a high note, but things got tough when people began comparing her to
Katrina Kaif
. Even though the comparisons affected her career, she continued working in the industry. Her last appearance was in the 2021 film 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele'.

But so many doubts, so many questions from everybody about whether Test cricket will stay or not. I think both the teams and the way we've played in this series, I think we've answered that question," Rahul said at the post-match press conference."For us as a team, that wasn't given a chance in this series.

I was here about two weeks earlier playing India A's and it didn't hit me back then. But once I joined the team and I looked around and I didn't have Rohit and Virat and Ashwin who I played all my cricket with..."Just to look around and not see them felt a bit weird. But yeah, that's when it hit me that everyone else is looking at me, coming to me to ask about English conditions, what they need to do, how they need to prepare."Rahul said he relied on his experience to do his bit in not just performing but also steering the younger lot."And that's when it hit me that, okay, I've stepped into a different role now and it's time for me to help the younger guys. Use all the experience I've had of playing Test cricket and international cricket over the years and really put my hand up and stand up for this team."This moment almost feels like this is a young team that's going to stay there for a long time.

Why a female-led Ullozhukku's National Award win feels personal
In a landscape where Indian cinema has often been questioned for its representation of women, 'Ullozhukku' stands as a powerful counter-narrative. Featuring Parvathy Thiruvothu and Urvashi in the lead roles, directed by Christo Tomy, this emotionally charged film was a character study of morally flawed characters and their difficult choices. 'Ullozhukku' won Best Malayalam film, while Urvashi bagged Best Supporting Actress at the 71st National Film the film is viewed as one that highlights patriarchal conditioning and women claiming agency, for me, it was an empowering film that promotes the strength of sisterhood. Director Christo Tomy crafted a powerful climax featuring the brilliant Urvashi and Parvathy, who remind us that the ultimate power a woman can hold is the power of there is chatter surrounding certain undeserving films and artistes winning National Awards, 'Ullozhukku' stood out as a deserving winner. The film released in theatres in June 2024 to an overwhelming positive response, garnering praise for the direction and performances of the lead cast. 'Ullozhukku', translated into English as undercurrent, revolves around three characters - Leelamma (Urvashi), her son Thomas Kutty (Prasant Murali), and daughter-in-law Anju (Parvathy Thiruvothu). Leelamma is constantly worried about Thomas Kutty, who suffers from a life-threatening disease. Anju dutifully takes good care of him. The narrative takes a twisted turn when Thomaskutty dies, and secrets begin to emerge alongside the rising floodwaters in Alappuzha, Kerala. 'Ullozhukku' talks about the complex relationship between a daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law and the underlying secrets between them. What sets 'Ullozhukku' apart is how it breaks all the stereotypes. A film that revolves around a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law almost never shows them bickering. Christo's mother-in-law character, Urvashi's Leelamma, is not the typical villainous mother-in-law but a mother who selfishly hides her son Thomaskutty's health issues to see him married. Leelamma even openly admits to Sister Aunty that she was not trying to deceive Anju or her Parvathy's Anju is not entirely innocent. She is a woman in an unhappy marriage who has an affair, all while taking care of her terminally ill husband. This nuanced characterisation and the conflicts that arise elevate the film beyond conventional melodrama, presenting morally complex characters whose actions stem from deeply human motivations. The film never judges the two characters and their hidden motives. Instead, it shows how they are trapped in their lives.'Ullozhukku' is an exploration of unexpected solidarity between the two women who might otherwise be positioned as adversaries. Despite their differences, Leelamma and Anju share a deep sense of orphanhood - both were brought into this house through marriages that turned them into caregivers, stripped them of their individuality and confined them within four audiences who have long craved meaningful female representation in cinema, 'Ullozhukku's National Award win feels like a personal win. The film's success proves that stories centred on women's experiences - especially the often-overlooked dynamics between women in traditional family structures - can succeed and how!advertisement'Ullozhukku's win is a reminder and proof that quality filmmaking with realistic storytelling can still triumph in a landscape often dominated by commercial entertainers. The film suggests that in times of crisis - both personal and societal - it is not your family, not your in-law's family, but often the connections between women that provide stability and sisterhood that emerges in 'Ullozhukku' is not forced. It's rooted in shared experiences of displacement, duty, and the quiet sacrifices that women make.- Ends
