Actor-entrepreneur Malaika Arora has spoken out about the pressure of looking a certain way, stating that only women are asked about their age. In a recent conversation, she expressed her frustration with the constant questioning of women's physical appearance and age, saying that she's never heard a man being asked the same questions.

Arora believes that rather than focusing on age and numbers, what's more important is whether a person still feels excited to do what they love. She emphasized the need to balance physical appearance with mental and emotional well-being, and to find what drives and motivates each individual.

Arora's comments come from her own experience in the public eye, where she's been subjected to scrutiny and pressure to maintain a certain image. Despite her fitness and looks still being praised, she admits that there are days when she worries about ageing, but ultimately feels that it doesn't affect her because she's doing what she loves.
