“Phew! I’m gorgeous. It’s always the 20s and 30s pressed about a 40 year old!” Zari Hassan brags.
In a society often obsessed with youth, beauty, and societal expectations, Zari Hassan, the mother of five, is proving that age is just a number and that confidence and self-love transcend time.
The Ugandan socialite recently took to social media to respond to critics, particularly women in their 20s and 30s, who have been throwing shade at her for being a 40-plus beauty.
In a powerful message accompanied by a photo showcasing her radiant skin, Zari addressed the negativity, saying, “Editing your videos to satisfy your empty souls doesn’t change my reality. I’m gorgeous, and it’s always the 20s and 30s pressed about a 40-year-old.”
Her words echoing a sentiment of self-assurance and defiance against societal pressures to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.
Zari Hassan’s response comes after criticism regarding her age surfaced, with some resorting to editing videos to perpetuate a false narrative. Her bold declaration not only reaffirms her confidence but challenges ageist perspectives that often plague women in the public eye.
The social media post was prompted by a video of Zari being interviewed by Kenyan online media upon her arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Zari, who had come to Kenya to attend an award show before heading back to Uganda for her all-white party, dismissed the edited videos as mere media portrayals.
Her all-white party, hosted at Noni Vie Bar and Restaurant in Lugogo, Uganda, was a glamorous and star-studded affair.
Zari made a grand entrance with Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna, with both women sharing a connection as co-parents to Diamond Platnumz.
