The actress asserted that one of the main causes of women changing their age is society.
“I can’t blame someone for decreasing their age,” she remarked. Being 33 years old, I am aware of what I have heard.
“She is over 30 and single, and at that age she doesn’t have that.
“They will suggest that at your age, you should dress in a certain way.
“People at 30 can empathize; the culture wants you to be successful, married, and have children; if you don’t, you’ve failed.
“The fear of being age shamed is one of the reasons why many women rush into marriage.”
She was not born at age 30.
