Neha Dhupia gives a befitting reply to age-shaming: "We need to stop putting women under a microscope for their appearance"

Actor and producer Neha Dhupia recently spoke at an event attended by dermatologists, where a male doctor asked her about her “secrets” for looking young in her 40s and whether she had undergone any surgery to appear younger. She used the moment to highlight issues around age, appearance, and the judgments women often face.

Neha shared that her youthful energy comes from practicing yoga regularly, which keeps her grounded and rejuvenated inside and out. However, she also highlighted the importance of respecting women’s choices and appearances, regardless of age.

Neha Dhupia shared, “I’ve been practicing yoga for years, and it has genuinely helped me stay balanced, calm, and healthy from the inside, which reflects on the outside too. But I want to say this clearly — it’s okay to follow any pattern you wish to look and feel a certain way at any age, but passing judgments on how someone looks, especially a woman, is not okay. This is so backhanded and so normalised to ask women of what their “supposed” secret to beauty or looking younger is. I don’t think such comments should be welcomed. We need to stop putting women under a microscope for their appearance, whether they are in their 20s or 40s. I am grateful that yoga has helped me feel the way I do today, but let’s remember that true beauty lies in embracing yourself and allowing others to do the same without fear of judgment”.

Neha’s statement was met with applause from the audience, as she addressed the importance of women’s confidence and choice, both on and off screen. With upcoming projects in the pipeline and a focus on well-being, Neha Dhupia emphasized the value of self-care through yoga and open conversations.
