Bollywood star Malaika Arora marked her milestone 50th birthday on October 23 with a chic gathering of close friends, family, and industry peers. Attendees included her sister Amrita Arora and close friend Kareena Kapoor, both of whom shared affectionate messages on social media, praising her as the “Golden girl.”

Photos from the celebration quickly gained traction, featuring Malaika in front of a cake that proudly displayed the number “50.” Amrita posted nostalgic moments with heartfelt captions, saying, “Cheers to you being 50, my beautiful sister!” In another post, she added, “Mallaaa, you’re finally 50! What a fabulous night! I love you immensely!”

Kareena articulated her sentiments as well, posting, “Happy Birthday sweetheart Malla. Golden girl, Golden birthday. Wishing you the best day ever... love you tons.”

Yet, beneath the birthday joy, fans noticed an inconsistency when old pictures from Malaika's 46th birthday in 2019 resurfaced, leading many to analyze the timeline. They questioned how she could turn 50 now if she was 46 then, suggesting that she should be 52 in 2025. A Reddit user even highlighted this by creating a collage of birthday moments, commenting, “If she was 46 in 2019, why celebrate 50 now? This doesn’t add up!”

Reactions flowed in from netizens, some issuing humorous takes on the situation. Comments like, “She didn’t count the COVID years,” and “The government should officially subtract COVID years from everyone’s age!” showcased the playful side of the debate. Others chimed in about her rumored relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor.

Malaika’s 49th birthday in 2022 kept the focus off her age, featuring a gathering with stars like Kareena Kapoor, Sarif Ali Khan, and others from the show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.

Rising to fame as a host on shows like Club MTV and landing significant roles in music videos, Malaika’s iconic Bollywood moment came with the unforgettable song Chaiyaa Chaiyya from the film Dil Se.

Today, she remains a vibrant presence in the industry, captivating audiences with her performances, including her recent work in the Diwali film Thamma. While debates about her age persist, Malaika Arora continues to shine as one of Bollywood's most beloved icons, reminding fans why she is a constant source of inspiration and glamour during her star-studded 50th celebration.
