Pakistani model and television actress Aruba Mirza, best known for winning the second season of the reality show Tamasharecently found herself in the eye of a social media storm. The actress, who has also appeared in popular TV dramas such as Shahrukh ki saaliyaan, Rang mehaland Revengecelebrated her 29th birthday with friends, including Tamasha 3 winner Malik Aqeel. However, the joyous occasion quickly turned into a topic of heated debate online, with many netizens accusing Aruba of hiding her real age.

Aruba, who is a single mother raising her 15-year-old daughter, posted several pictures from her birthday party on social media. The photos showed her enjoying the celebration with close friends, capturing a light and happy moment in her life. Yet, the birthday post soon attracted critical comments questioning the authenticity of her stated age.

The main source of controversy stems from the fact that Aruba claims to be 29 years old despite having a teenage daughter. Many users expressed disbelief and accused her of deliberately concealing her true age. One social media user commented, “She has a 15-year-old daughter, and she claims to be just 29. What a lie!” Another sarcastically added, “She means to say she is 29 plus 10, which makes her 39 years old.”

Others joined in the conversation, with one follower writing, “I have been watching her since my matriculation days. I’m thirty now, and she’s still just 29? That’s not true.” Another user remarked, “She must be older because she has been appearing on TV for many years, and her daughter is already in sixth grade.”

Despite the backlash, Aruba has not publicly responded to these allegations. The controversy highlights the intense scrutiny public figures face, especially female celebrities, when it comes to their personal lives and appearances. Age, in particular, remains a sensitive subject in the entertainment industry, where youth is often overly emphasized.

Aruba’s fans continue to support her, appreciating her work and applauding her strength as a single mother balancing a demanding career. Meanwhile, the discussion around her age reveals broader conversations about societal expectations and pressures faced by women in the public eye.

As the debate continues, Aruba Mirza remains focused on her career and motherhood, navigating the challenges of fame while maintaining a connection with her audience.
