One of the comments shared by Shamita read:
“Aapki age ho gayi hai pehle wali baat nahi rahi.”
(You have grown old now; you are not the same as before.)
Responding to the remark, Shamita acknowledged that ageing is a natural part of life and said physical appearances change over time.
The actress wrote that she remains healthy, happy and grateful for everything life has given her, adding that those things matter more than external appearance.

Shamita responded sharply, asking:
“Aapne shaadi karke kya ukhaad liya hai bhai?”
(What exactly have you achieved by getting married?)
She further criticised the mindset behind such remarks and questioned why some people continue to follow single women online only to age-shame them.
In her Instagram Story, Shamita also urged the user to unfollow her account.
