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

Zareen Khan SLAMS Troll Saying ‘Shaadi Kar Lo, Buddhi Ho Rahi Ho': ‘Fir Se Jawan…'
Last Updated: After a troll told her to 'marry because she's getting old,' Zareen Khan posted a video shutting down the troll, and questioned society's obsession with marriage. Actress Zareen Khan recently shared a video on Instagram, responding to an ageist troll who left a comment on her post saying, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho (Get married, you're getting old).' The actress had a savage and witty reply! She questioned the bizarre logic behind marriage being presented as the ultimate solution to every problem in life. Mocking the troll, Zareen Khan sarcastically questioned whether getting married would somehow make her younger. She then criticized society's obsession with marriage. Zareen pointed out how, especially for women, independence is often seen as a threat, and the go-to solution from families is to get the girl married. Zareen Khan shared a video in which she 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? (Lately I've been reading the comments on my posts, and there was one that 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)." She further 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." She then said that 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. 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'," said Zareen. She then asked whether marriage is some kind of magic. '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," she concluded. Back in 2010, Zareen Khan, who started her career as a makeup artist, starred in 'Veer' with Salman Khan. Though it started off well, constant comparisons with Katrina Kaif became a downer in her career. She was last seen in the 2021 movie Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele.

She said to Hindi Rush, 'I'm not saying all of them do it, but many paps zoom in on areas where there's absolutely no need to.'

Dressed in a lemon yellow chikankari kurta and jeans, she greeted the paparazzi but soon turned back and said, 'Mujhe dekho, ye nahi (Look at me, not here),' pointing at her back. Zareen questioned why photographers often post close-ups of 'weird body parts' asking followers to 'guess who'. This, she feels disrespects the individuality and work of celebrities.

Zareen Khan Slams Paps For Objectifying Female Celebs: 'They Zoom In On Body Parts'
Last Updated: Bollywood actress Zareen Khan criticized paparazzi for capturing female celebrities from inappropriate angles. She called for ethical changes in media portrayal. Actress Zareen Khan has spoken out against a growing trend in paparazzi culture that she believes is disrespectful and objectifying. In a recent interview, she strongly condemned the practice of zooming in on female celebrities' body parts in videos and photos, calling it 'disgusting" and expressing concern about how women in the public eye are being portrayed. 'I cannot really understand today's paparazzi culture. I'm not saying all of them do it, but there are many paps who zoom in on areas where there's absolutely no need to," Zareen said during a conversation with Hindi Rush. The actress, known for her role in Veer, pointed out how such content not only disrespects the subject but also misleads the audience. She added that the focus should be on a celebrity's face and work, not random close-ups. 'A celebrity is known by their face, right? So how can you show some random body part and ask 'Guess who?' And that too a weird body part. I don't understand what they're trying to do," she questioned. In recent months, several public figures including Janhvi Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Neha Bhasin, Rashami Desai, Mona Singh, Ayesha Khan, and Manushi Chhillar have voiced their discomfort with the media's tendency to capture them from behind or at unflattering angles. Zareen also shared how the trend of such videos going viral seems to be losing steam. 'Earlier, I thought their videos were going viral because of this. But now, even the public, the audience, is not enjoying it anymore. They also find it disgusting," she added. Just recently, she had confronted photographers for clicking her from behind during a public appearance. Dressed in a lemon yellow chikankari kurta paired with denim and jhumkas, she initially greeted the paparazzi but later turned around and firmly said, 'Mujhe dekho, ye nahi (Look at me, not here)," pointing at her back. Take a look at her video below: On the work front, Zareen was last seen in the 2021 film Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele. She has yet to announce her next project.

Soni Razdan's Hari Ka Om To Premiere As Gala Highlight At UK Asian Film Festival 2025
Last Updated: Hari Ka Om, starring Anshuman Jha, Soni Razdan, and Raghubir Yadav, will premiere at the UK Asian Film Festival 2025. After captivating audiences across Australia, North America, Canada, and India, Hari Ka Om, the poignant father-son drama starring Anshuman Jha, Soni Razdan, and Raghubir Yadav, is now headed to Europe. The film is set for its European Premiere as the centerpiece gala screening at the prestigious UK Asian Film Festival 2025. The screening will take place on May 7 at London's iconic Regent Street Cinema. Directed by Harish Vyas—known for Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain and Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele—Hari Ka Om marks the third collaboration between him and lead actor Anshuman Jha. The story, set in small-town India, explores the emotional complexities within a generational household, spotlighting the often-unspoken gaps between fathers and sons. 'HARI KA OM is the father-son film we need today, small town India set, deals with issues which occur in nearly every home. It dwells on the fact that without emotional regulation — mistakes can be made by the young & the old. It's a quintessential generational divide film and I look forward to being in the UK for the screening & the Q/A," says Anshuman Jha. Jha, who received praise for his roles in Hum Bhi Akele (2021) as a gay man and in Lakadbaggha (2023) as an animal rights vigilante, takes a sharp turn in Hari Ka Om, portraying a middle-class boy from Bhopal. Reflecting on his collaboration with Jha, Harish Vyas shares, 'Anshuman is a very simple person but also has a razor-sharp film brain. In addition to being a fabulous actor of this generation, he understands all aspects of cinema like very few people I have met. Their chemistry (Raghubir Yadav & Anshuman) is a delight in this film. We are thrilled to be premiering in the UK at such a prestigious platform." The film continues to gain momentum ahead of its worldwide theatrical release in July 2025. Meanwhile, Anshuman Jha's directorial debut, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, is also expected to release later this year. First Published:
