Ankita Konwar on tackling Indian stereotype of marrying an older man

On June 8, 2021, Ankita posted a story on her Instagram handle and asked her followers to "ask away" any questions that they had. On June 9, 2021, as a part of this Q&A session, one of the questions that she was asked was how she tackled/managed this Indian stereotype of "don't marry an older man?" To this, Ankita replied, writing, "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 the tendency to get weird about the unknown, the unexplored AKA fear." She then went on to say that fear was a survival skill, and we are not always conscious enough to distinguish between what is unnecessary and what is useful about the skill. She then went on to say that she did what made her happy regardless of anything,
