Overview
- Shamita Shetty posted screenshots on her Instagram Story on Wednesday, identifying the commenter as Pankaj Mittal and publicly rebuking his messages.
- The screenshots showed age‑shaming lines such as “Apki age ho gayi hai” and a remark that she should have married earlier so her children would now be grown.
- She answered the comments directly with the line “Aapne shaadi karke kya ukhaad liya hai bhai?” and told the user to unfollow her while saying she is healthy, fit and happy.
- Multiple Indian entertainment outlets carried her post and placed it alongside career context and her recent denials of dating rumours.
- The episode underscores a trend of public figures using social media to call out trolls and has renewed discussion about patriarchal pressure and ageism toward single women, with no apology or legal response reported so far.
