Celina Jaitly SLAMS Ageism In Film Industry: 'After 39, A Woman Begins To Fade…'
Last Updated:
Celina Jaitly addressed ageism in the film industry on Instagram, emphasising women don't fade with age. Esha Deol and Sussanne Khan supported her.
Celina Jaitly, who has starred in as many as 20 films, openly called out ageism in films via an angry post on Instagram. The Janasheen actor mentioned how she was recently told that a woman steadily starts to fade away after the age of 39 in the film industry. She urged her followers not to believe in such narratives and mentioned that she is only getting 'stronger, bolder, and unstoppable" with time. She also shared a new post on Thursday, reiterating what she previously called out clearly – to not feel guilty while growing up.
Two days back, Celina Jaitly dropped a stunning photo of herself, standing in the backdrop of a scenic landscape. There, she defied age-related conversations that often float in the film industry. In a long note, the No Entry actor wrote, 'They said recently to me — after 39, a woman begins to fade in this industry. I was told, 'You may look 27, but the digits matter.' Well, here's my response, watch those digits, because they will be great. Some of my Instagram reels have more views than their full-length films at the box office. With reels having reached to phenomenal- 30 Million views."
She directly addressed her audience and penned, 'Dear Men and women remember you have NOT been sidelined by age; Personally speaking I've been sharpened by experience. Motherhood didn't pause my journey, it empowered it. Every challenge, every reinvention, has only made me stronger. I'm not done, I've only just begun. I'm evolving, I'm rising, and I'm here to stay. Stronger. Bolder. Unstoppable. I will bring my own chair to the table where there are none for me!!!" The post was widely circulated online, and was liked by celebs such as Esha Deol and Sussanne Khan.
