Veteran actress Neena Gupta was recently again trolled for her choice of wearing shorts to the airport. Her viral witty reel has bagged applause from fans for her confidence. Known for her bold fashion and fierce persona, the 65-year old diva’s clapback to trolls have proved that age is just a number.
Neena’s Defiance with Courage and Style
At 65, Neena Gupta continues to redefine fashion and confidence, taking it as an utmost pleasure to blend tradition with modernity. In a recent video posted on her Instagram, the diva was seen in an airport lounge sharing a travel hack-packing homemade roti rolls filled with potatoes, paneer, and spices, captioned “Shorts wali desi girl.”
Dressed in a gorgeous black ensemble with shorts Neena looked effortless!. However, a troll commented, “Very good … only request don’t show your legs, they are not well toned … ageing gracefully is excellent.”
Neena’s reply was sharp and graceful: “Don’t worry. These people who talk like this are basically jealous that they don’t have such good body, so ignore.” Her answer did quiet the critic but also garnered admiration from many for her poise.
History of Breaking Stereotypes
Neena’s three-decade long career proves her fortitude. From the then to the now, she has always stood up against stereotypes about age, whether in Metro… In Dino or Panchayat.
In an interview with NDTV, she addressed the issue of trolling, saying, “If I look at the comments below my post, there are 500 good comments and two who speak ill about me. Why should I care about those two?” The philosophy of leading her life on her terms resonates with fans, making her a role model for living life to her individuality.
Neena Inspiring New Generation with her style
Neena’s response to body shaming opens wider doors to a dialogue surrounding unrealistic expectations placed on women as they age. Her fans came out for her, with one user denouncing the troll’s comment as “very demeaning” and praising Neena for her confidence.
Her knack for transitioning negativity into empowerment is an inspiration for others to dismiss archaic norms and embrace self-love, cementing confidence itself as ageless. She is indeed an icon!
