Rani Mukerji shows us how to deal the next time an aunty calls you dark or fat

Here's presenting, six essential comebacks to astonishing questions asked almost of every desi girl

KARACHI: It's not uncommon for South-East Asian girls to come across a plethora of queries about when they will tie the knot, when they'll have a baby or why they are taking their careers so seriously?

I, for one, have had to reply to many such questions time and again and every time, it got a little more infuriating.

Being an unmarried 25-year-old with a job is, according to every other desi aunty, unconventional. So when I came across this video of Rani Mukerji showing us how to react the next time we're asked such  personal questions, it definitely hit home.

As compiled from her video, here are six essential comebacks every desi girl should note down for when cornered by a nosy person.

1. When someone says you've gotten a bit too tan:

When an aunty gives you a desi totka for that flawless and fair skin, make sure you hit her back with one of your own tips.

2. When someone suggests your conceiving a boy again:

3. When a husband 'permits' his wife to work even after marriage:

Well, that's true, isn't it? She also let him work right after they had a child. Together.

4. When aunty says all the good guys will get booked if you don't say yes to one soon:

5. If a girl's attire the only thing stopping her from bagging a job:
