‘At the end of the day, I am not silly and stupid’

Malaika Arora opened up about being criticised for her outfits and said that women are always judged for their hemlines and necklines. She added that dressing is a personal choice and said that people should live and let live instead of telling others what kind of clothes to wear.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Malaika said that she was questioned about her clothing ‘all the time’. “A woman is always judged by the length of her skirt or the plunge of her neckline… I cannot live my life according to what people have to say about my hemline or my neckline. Dressing is a very personal choice. You may think a certain way but it may not be for me. I cannot dictate it to anybody and everybody,” she said.

“If I feel comfortable…and at the end of the day, I am not silly and stupid. I know what looks good on me, I know what doesn’t. If tomorrow, I feel it’s a tad bit too much, I am not going to. But again, that is my choice, nobody has the right to tell me that. If I am comfortable with my skin, with my body, with my age, then so be it. You have to fall in line, it’s as simple as that,” she added.

Malaika made a name for herself as a dancer in songs such as Chaiyya Chaiyya, Maahi Ve, Kaal Dhamaal and Munni Badnaam Hui. She has also worked as a VJ, model and reality show judge.
