August 11, 2021 (IANSlife) Influencers dictate the way we dress, shop, style and literally live our lives. Just as we manage to board the banana bread train, there’s already something else trending on social media platforms. Amidst the millennials and next-gens, there are a handful women influencers over the age of fifty, who are making Instagram less noisy and more real. We take a look:

 

Neena Gupta  

Ever since the actor's post asking for work went viral, there’s been no looking back for the 62-year-old – successful movies, power-packed performances and even an autobiography that’s become everyone’s favourite read. Gupta's social media posts are an insight into exactly who she is – natural, funny and sassy. From her captions to her take on fashion and other life situations, her humour is intact.
