Malaika Arora Celebrates 50th Birthday, Defies Age Expectations

On October 23rd, 2025, Malaika Arora celebrated her 50th birthday in Goa, surrounded by her son Arhaan Khan, sister Amrita Arora, and close friends. The actor-model shared a carousel of photos from the festivities on her Instagram, showcasing the joyous occasion.

However, the celebrations were soon overshadowed by an age controversy, as some trolls claimed Malaika was actually 52 years old. But the actor quickly put the rumors to rest, making it clear that she was indeed celebrating her 50th birthday this year.

In a recent interview, Malaika Arora opened up about the pressure of a "supposed shelf life" that women in the entertainment industry often face, especially when it comes to dance or glamorous roles. But the 50-year-old has a different perspective now. She believes that talent, charisma, and presence cannot be limited by age, and that women are rewriting the rules, creating space for themselves well beyond what was ever expected.

Malaika, who started her career as a VJ for MTV India and later became a successful model and Bollywood performer, now sees age as a "badge of honor" - a testament to her wisdom, resilience, and confidence. She is determined to own her narrative and not let anyone dictate her limits.
