India, Dec. 31 -- Actor Malaika Arora was still finding her feet in the entertainment industry when she tied the knot with Arbaaz Khan. She had been a successful model and even appeared in Chhaiya Chhaiya by then, but the actor now feels that as a 25-year-old, she was too young to 'settle down'.

In a recent interaction with India Today, Malaika reflected on tying the knot at 25. "Please don't make the mistake of getting married so young. Yes, beautiful things have happened (during marital life), the best being that I had my kid early. But live and experience life a bit. Then take the call to settle down. Be financially and emotionally independent before you actually settle down," she said as advice to other women.
