Nimrat Kaur on Choosing Single Life at 40+
Nimrat Kaur, a 40+ actress, talked about why she chooses to stay single.
She said people often pressure women to get married, especially if their careers aren't going well.
She thinks many marriages are fake and make people unhappy.
A psychologist, Athul Raj, said this pressure can make women feel anxious and guilty.
He suggested setting boundaries and talking to supportive people to feel better.
Nimrat believes women should be happy with their choices and not feel like they need to get married to be 'settled'.
Nimrat Kaur faced marriage pressure from her late 20s, which stopped after her success in 'The Lunchbox'.
She believes societal conditioning makes people judge single women and push them into marriage.
Kaur argues that many marriages are superficial and make people 'unhinged' rather than settled.
Psychologist Athul Raj notes that single women often face scrutiny, leading to anxiety and guilt.
Raj suggests setting boundaries and seeking therapy to cope with societal pressure.
