On Wednesday, Ankita was interacting with her Instafam, when a user asked her: "How did you tackle/ manage this Indian stereotype of 'Don't marry an older man'?" Ankita explained that stereotypes are a universal concept and wrote: "Anything that's not common in a society, people usually like to talk about it. And it's not just limited to India. We as a species, have a tendency to get weird about the unknown, the unexplored, AKA fear. A survival skill." She added, "And sometimes we are not conscious enough to distinguish between the utility and the waste of that skill. I have always done what makes me happy." Read Ankita Konwar's reply here:
