About Malaika Arora's age debate

As photos from Malaika’s birthday bash spread across social media, a Reddit post reignited an old discussion about her age. Users pointed out that she had celebrated her 46th birthday in 2019, which, according to them, would make her 52 in 2025, not 50. One user wrote, “She celebrated her 46th birthday in 2019. That makes her 1973-born. By that logic, her 50th birthday would have been in 2023. But she celebrated her ‘50th’ birthday yesterday… how?” While the debate continued online, Malaika has yet to respond publicly. Her sister’s post, however, seems to have settled the matter for fans.
