Sadly we live in a country where it’s considered blashphemy if a woman is in her late 20s and still doesn’t have a ring on her finger. You’re nagged at every possible chance you get to find a good boy and settle down. The reasons start from how people may confuse you for a divorcee, in-laws will say you won’t be able to adjust or the biggest, pregnancy will come with problems!
However, Bollywood stars have been setting different trends since forever. These 8 divas married at a later age and shut all that talk about log kya kahege. Looking at them we see that age really is just a number and one is never too old to find love!

The Dil Chahata Hai star found love at the age of 60. That’s right, she never married before that but tied the knot to a doctor, Atul Gurtu who she actually met via the internet. He had lost his first wife to cancer and was giving love another chance. She got eyeballs from everyone but that didn’t stop her from living her own kind of happy life!
2. Priety Zinta
The dimpled diva found love in pardes with US-based Gene Goodenough at the age of 41. They both took a vow to be together forever in LA and are now happily married. Much has been talked about Priety’s love life and it just goes to show that failed relationships are just life lessons and one should never just settle. Mr Right is around the corner if you look hard enough.
3. Urmila Matondkar
This actress got married at the age of 42 with Mir Mohsin Akhtar who is a model. The ceremony was private and so was the relationship and looking at her shaadi pictures, she sure embodied the ‘happy girls are the prettiest’ mantra!
4. Farah Khan
Farah Khan said qubool hai to Shrish Kunder when she was 39 and he was eight years younger. The director-producer-choreographer was met with a lot of questions and clicks of tongues but she owned it and chose love instead. The two are now proud parents of triplets- one son and two daughters. Awww!
5. Lisa Ray
This stunning lady said “I do” to ex-management consultant Jason Dehni when she was 40 years old. Lisa even spoke about how happy she was that she didn’t take the shaadi plunge in her 20s and waited it out. Looking at her we’re convinced that it was the right choice.
6. Aishwarya Rai
There were many whispers when Ash and Abhishek announced that they were going to get married. She was 34 and he was 32 and that did shock a lot of people who believe that the man should always be older. Despite all this, their marriage is one of the strongest we’ve seen in tinsel town. And little Aaradhya makes the fam one tight unit.
7. Shilpa Shetty
The winner of Big Brother Season 5, Shilpa Shetty took saat phere with her bae at the age of 34. Her husband, Raj Kundra is a businessman and their marriage is filled with fun and laughter. They are the proud parents of a son, Viaan Raj Kundra and their fam is freaking adorable!
8. Rani Mukherjee
The 90s favourite Rani tied the knot with Aditya Chopra at the age of 36 but they never accepted it openly. They had a quiet ceremony in Italy and seemed happier than ever. They had a baby daughter, Adira in 2015.
So guys, take inspo from these #bossbabes and get married only when you think you’re ready.
