Speaking with IndianExpress, Sophie when asked how she copes with ageism, stated, “My experience with ageism is a funny thing. Every day I get messages where people tell me they were in school when Ek Pardesi came out and now they look old, but I don’t. Once in a while I get messages of people telling me to ‘act my age’, but what’s that? I’ve never though of age as a number. People are always going to comment on social media.” ALSO READ: Sophie Choudry Wins The Internet With Her Version Of ‘Doobey’ From Deepika Padukone’s Gehraiyaan; Fans Say, ‘Amazing Magical Voice’
Further calling Malaika a 'strong woman', the model asserted that the Chaiyya Chaiyya girl is an inspiration to many women out there. “I’ve never been a person to judge anyone for anything, I know how hard this industry is, sitting outside it is easy to judge but this is a tough place to survive, so if you’re doing it, hats off to you,” Sophie further added.
