Bollywood star Malaika Arora is currently at the center of a social media storm. Even at 52, she remains a fashion icon and a fitness inspiration to many. However, she is now being targeted by online trolls using labels like "Aunty" and "Bhabhiji".
Who is the New Mystery Man in Malaika’s Life?
The latest buzz started when a photo of Malaika with diamond merchant Harsh Mehta went viral.
-
Dating Rumors: Fans are speculating that the two are seeing each other.
-
The Viral Appearance: Shortly after the photo surfaced, Malaika was spotted in Mumbai wearing a stunning white gown. While she posed confidently for the paparazzi, trolls flooded the comments section of her videos with "Aunty" remarks.
Why is She Facing Age-Based Criticism?
It is clear that some social media users are struggling to accept her choices. The backlash generally stems from:
-
The "Ageing" Stigma: Despite her disciplined fitness routine and successful career, critics often use her age as a way to undermine her.
-
Her Independent Lifestyle: As a single mother who lives life on her own terms, she often becomes an easy target for those who hold more traditional or judgmental views.
Is it just jealousy? Many fans believe the negativity is born out of envy. Achieving and maintaining such a high level of fitness and confidence after 50 is a challenge that few can meet, which often triggers "hater" behavior.
What is Her Relationship with the Khan Family?
In the midst of these rumors, Malaika has shown great maturity. She was recently seen visiting her former father-in-law, Salim Khan, at Lilavati Hospital along with her son, Arhaan. This visit proves that despite her divorce, she continues to maintain a respectful and caring bond with her ex-husband’s family.
Does She Let the Trolls Get to Her?
True to her personality, Malaika has not addressed the negative comments directly. She continues to attend events, work on her fitness, and live her life in the public eye without letting the opinions of strangers dictate her happiness.
