In Bollywood, age is just another number

When it comes to Bollywood, heroes never age. But, the heroines are shockingly younger girls. Take Akshay Kumar and his ‘maal’ Sonakshi Sinha in Rowdy Rathore for example. Are you getting what we are trying to tell you? They are not the only ones. The other ‘age-defying’ on-screen pairings.

Akshay Kumar – Sonakshi Sinha: He was born in 1967 and she in 1987. The numbers makes the math easier doesn’t it? However, the 20-year difference does no damage to their awesome onscreen chemistry.


Salman Khan – Zarine Khan: It was her Bollywood debut, and it was opposite Salman Khan. The difference between their ages, was just 23 years.


Akshay Kumar – Deepika Padukone: There is a good 19 year difference between Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar and they were paired together in Chandni Chowk to China.


Salman Khan – Sonakshi Sinha: Sonakshi made her Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in Dabangg. Salman as you know is way over 40.


 
Aamir Khan – Asin : There was a 20 year difference between Asin and Aamir when they paired up for Ghajini.



Amitabh Bachchan – Jiah Khan: Amitabh has acted and romanced heroines way younger than him many times. But when he was paired opposite the sexy young Jiah Khan, there was a good 46 year difference between them – but, it was the requirement of the script.


Shah Rukh Khan – Deepika Padukone: Deepika made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan with Om Shanti Om and there is a 21 year age difference between them.


Sanjay Dutt – Lisa Haydon: Sanju Baba was heavily criticised for the slapstick comedy Rascals where he tries to romance Lisa Haydon and Kangna Ranauat – both of them less than half his age!



Shah Rukh Khan – Anushka Sharma: SRK has done it too. He was paired opposite Anushka Sharma who was 23 years younger to him in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
Salman khan – Katrina Kaif : Salman is a good 19 years older to Katrina. They were one of the most talked about jodis on screen and off it. They will be seen together once again in Ek Tha Tiger.
Akshay Kumar – Katrina Kaif: They were a successful pair and Akshay has time and again said that Kat was his lucky mascot. The age difference between the pair? 17 years.
