Zareen Khan hilariously claps back at ageist troll saying ‘shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho'
Actor Zareen Khan recently took to Instagram to deliver a sharp and humorous comeback to an ageist troll who commented on her post, saying, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old). Rather than ignore it, Zareen responded with wit and clarity—calling out the regressive mindset that views marriage as a solution to ageing or life's problems. In a new video, actor Zareen Khan advocated for women's independence and critiqued the notion that marriage guarantees happiness. Zareen Khan claps back at ageist trolls She went on to highlight how marriage is often positioned especially in Indian society as a cure-all for everything. Zareen questioned why, when someone is unproductive or "not doing anything" with their life, families often default to 'Shaadi karwa do' as a solution. 'How is that helpful?' she asked. 'If someone can't take care of themselves, adding another person to the chaos won't fix anything—it might just ruin two lives instead of one.' Zareen also pointed out that women's independence is still seen as threatening in many households. 'If a girl starts becoming too independent or opinionated, families panic and say, 'She's slipping out of our hands.' And again, the solution is: get her married.' Ending her statement with a reality check, she asked, 'Is marriage some kind of magic? From what I see, most marriages today barely last two or three months. So no, marriage is not the answer to every problem.' Zareen Khan's career Zareen Khan, who began her career with the 2010 film Veer opposite Salman Khan, has long faced public scrutiny, including unfair comparisons to Katrina Kaif. Zareen gradually established her own identity with performances in films like Housefull 2, Hate Story 3, and 1921. Apart from Hindi cinema, she has also worked in Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu films. Zareen has often spoken out against body shaming and societal expectations. She was last seen in the 2021 film Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele.

Actress Zareen Khan recently gave a savage and witty reply to an ageist troll who left a rude comment on one of her Instagram posts. The troll wrote, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old). But Zareen wasn't having it. Instead of ignoring the comment, she chose to respond in a smart and sharp video on Instagram, where she openly mocked the logic behind it. Her response was bold, hilarious, and thought-provoking—all at once. Zareen's savage reply In the video, Zareen said she had come across a comment that stood out more than the rest. She shared, '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? What does this even mean? (laughs).' Society's obsession with marriage Zareen didn't stop there. She went on to highlight how marriage is often treated as the answer to everything in life, especially in Indian society. She said, '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.'

When people aren't doing much… Zareen then spoke about how families often use marriage as a solution when someone isn't doing anything productive in life. She explained, '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.' She says independent girls get judged too Zareen also called out how society fears independent women. She said, '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'.' Marriage is not magic Taking a dig at the way marriage is treated like a miracle cure, Zareen asked the question, '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.' Her career began with 'Veer' Zareen Khan made her debut in 2010 with Salman Khan 's period drama 'Veer'. Before entering Bollywood, she was working as a makeup artist. Her career started on a high note, but things got tough when people began comparing her to Katrina Kaif .

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.
