Actress Neha Dhupia has spoken about age, appearance, and the judgments women often face. She said there is a need to stop putting women under a microscope for their appearance, whether they are in their 20s or 40s. The actress addressed an audience of dermatologists at an event where she was unexpectedly questioned by a male doctor about her “secrets” for looking young in her 40s. Neha said: “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.” The actress said “clearly” that it is okay to follow any pattern one wishes “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.”  (IANS)
