Television personality Malaika Arora has always been admired for staying timeless at any age. So when she celebrated her 50th birthday on October 23, 2025, the internet refused to believe it, saying she had ‘paused the aging process’. But this was not the only reason netizens paid attention to her age. A Reddit post claiming that she celebrated her 46th birthday in 2019 went viral.

While the discussion sparked a meme fest, many said that age is just a number for her and that it could be an in-joke between Malaika and her friends. Here’s what netizens said:

A Reddit post, sharing a screenshot of Malaika’s birthday celebration in 2019, went viral. In that post, the Reddit user shared pictures of her along with the caption that said it was her 46th birthday.

In the caption, the user called out the mismatch in her birth year and age, “She celebrated her 46th birthday in 2019. That makes her 1973 born. By that logic her 50th birthday would have been 2023. But she celebrated her “50th” birthday yesterday. I mean how. If you are gonna mention your age on cakes and all then how can you lie. Peak clown behavior 🤡”

In the comment section, many trolled Malaika for lying about her age. Many said that it does not matter as she does not look her age anyway. Many also said that it could be a running joke between her and her friends.

A couple of Reddit users said, “You are too much. She didn't count the COVID years.” “She didn't count her 'AK' years.”

One user said that she did not need to hide her age - “Why are they so afraid of age?? She looks amazing for her age anyways so why lie😭😭”

A user said, “If she’s 55, Imma fannnnn. What is that body? That skin. Fuck”

Another replied, “Exactly she looks soooo good idk why she’s ashamed.. she should be proud imo”

A fan wrote, “no one wants to be told they look good for their age lmfaooo its not a compliment to them. They wanna be that age and not care for the clock that ticks”

Another netizen said, “Hiding your age is like the least problematic thing these actors and celebs do😂”

“She is 52 acc to wiki, which is just 2 yrs older than the age written on the cake, idk why hasn't she written it, 52 and 50 I mean they almost give same perception of being in 50s plus like some ppl pointed out, she looks very good for her age , no reason for her to hide it when it is available in public domain otherwise,” a user said.

“Age is number still she is hot 🔥,” a netizen wrote.

Many said that it could be an inside joke in her circle. “1st pic is some random page. 2nd pic could just be a inside joke or running gag with her friends about being forever 50. And she is either 52 or 53. So chill out”

Another wrote, “She's 1973 born only, even on wikipedia and the articles are also wishing her for 52nd b'day.. she isn't lying.. I'm sure it's a pact between her and her friends to remain 50 at heart forever.. nothing serious”
