After recent controversies over her choice of clothes, Malaika Arora has finally opened up about being criticised for her outfits, saying that women are always judged for their hemlines and necklines. Speaking in an interview, she said she is not “silly and stupid” and knows what looks good on her and added that if she is comfortable with whatever she is wearing, others will have to “fall in line”.
Malaika said she was questioned about her clothing “all the time”. She said, “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. My personal choices should be my personal choices and vice-versa so I cannot sit in judgment and say, ‘Oh, why are you dressing a certain way?’”
Malaika added, “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.”
The reality show judge recently made the headlines for going bra-less while on a morning walk with her dog. Photos of the celebrity made their way to the internet where trolls slandered and objectified her.
