Sonyaa Ayoddhya calls ‘older men are mature’ saying a myth: ‘Truth is..’

Actress Sonyaa Ayoddhya know for her stint in shows like Nazar, Sirf Tum and more has opened up about a common misconception in relationships — that older men are automatically more mature. Speaking on the subject, she challenged this societal belief and shared her perspective on what true maturity really means.

"In her own words, Sonyaa said, it’s a myth that older men are automatically more mature. Age doesn’t guarantee emotional evolution or maturity. Dating or marrying someone ‘with more experience’ means nothing if they didn’t learn anything from those experiences. Truth is, it’s often far healthier to date your peers to grow together, learn together, and experience life side by side. Maturity isn’t about age. It’s about self-awareness, emotional responsibility, and the willingness to do the inner work.”

Most men, unfortunately, have mastered the art of suppressing their emotions leading to deeply unhealthy dynamics in love and relationships. They struggle with emotional regulation, with expressing vulnerability, with healing.

So if you’re a woman who believes that dating someone older guarantees emotional maturity you’re mistaken. From my own experience, I’ve seen it clearly: I’ve met 24-year-olds with remarkable emotional intelligence — and 38-year-olds still avoiding their pain, stuck in cycles they refuse to break.

Maturity is a choice. A discipline. A journey. And it has nothing to do with the number candles on your birthday cake.”

Sonyaa’s take on this topic highlights the importance of emotional intelligence and inner growth over age or experience. Her words serve as a reminder that relationships thrive not on numbers, but on self-awareness, empathy, and the conscious effort to evolve together.
