I agree with everything else you said but @ bold -age shaming works both ways——saying someone is ‘too old’ to romance someone ‘too young’ is what the whole issue is about, keeping the actors and characters aside…

Sorry how is it age shaming to say that a person in their 50s is too old (i.e has two decades, a generation more of experience) for someone who is in their 20s (i.e. someone few years into their adulthood)?

The power-dynamics are too skewed towards one party. Which is why leo decaprio gets trolled every time he has a new gf. Some of the girl he dates are younger than his films lol.

ok- how do we know what age the new character would be on the show? for all we know she might be playing a middle aged 35-40 year old…dont go by how old the actor is, its the character we are talking about here….you are mixing the actor with the char… I would dfinitely call out the makers if they paired a 20-30 year old character opposite a 50 year old but we are jumping the gun assuming their age before they are introduced. btw, you dont have to agree with anything, but be open to opinions that may not agree with yours.

Fair enough.

I am making calculated guesses, knowing whatever little I know of showbiz, that newbie actresses like Ayesha would not want to age themselves too much on-screen from the fear of getting typecast and losing out on future lead roles.

Even if the character is not in their 20s-30s, doesn't it beg the question as to why actresses in their 20s are being screen-tested for 35+ y/o character while actresses in their 30s play mothers to 30-something MLs?

Both scenarios are equally problematic to me.

Its really upto the actors what age they want to play, if they are willing and happy to play a character much older than their actual age then its on them not on the makers, nobody is forcing the actors…they have a choice to make an informed decision on the role they are offered to play, unless they are dumb enough to sign the contract without reading it

This is just a convoluted way to beat around the bush about something which is systemic. Women don't get to experiment with roles especially if age is a factor because that limits their career span. That is that.

If younger women are being cast in older roles while the actresses of that age-group play maternal supporting roles, that is still ageist, fetishistic and ultimately ends women's financial avenues.

That still does not change the fact that actors in their 20s being cast opposite Gaurav (who is 42, playing a 50-something character) is age-inappropriate casting. While an actress' fans are being lampooned for fantasising about age-inappropriate ships, the ML's potential age-inappropriate casting/ship is being celebrated. Both are eeks.

Saying Rupali's (46) character would look good with Kunwar's (38) character is being criticised in a thread fawning over Gaurav's (42) potential pairing with Ayesha (26/27).

Looooooool

Lol and you say you dont care…I didnt know Kunwar was/is 38 years old, and now isnt he ‘too old’ for Nishi(25) who plays Dimpy, didnt see anyone objecting to that? and I dont know what thread you are referring to, no one here criticised or supported Kunwar and RG’s pairing…you are not gonna like anything said here cause you are pretty much decided on your opinion so we’ll have to agree to disagree

Isn't that very premise lol. I didn't even know Kunwar's age till this thread had a post saying how delusional RG fans are calling Anuj "too old" to be romancing Ayesha when they ship RG with Nakul and Tapish Titu as if she were sweet 16. The hilarity is not lost on me when Kunwar is closer in age to RG than he is to Nishi or Gaurav is to Ayesha.

But it is objectionable when Rupali's fans do it. Therefore Ayesha-Gaurav pairing is not age-inappropriate at all.

If that doesn't smack of age-shaming and sexism then I dunno what is.

One cannot call someone else a hypocrite for endorsing the same thing as themselves.

This is just an example :

When Mahabharat came on Star Plus a decade ago, the actors playing Dhritrashtra and Gandhari were younger than the ones playing Padavas and Kauravas. In fact Gandhari actor was only a teen and Dhritrashtra actor was about 25.

If the actor likes the role and looks good/ fits into the requirement of the role, who are fans to raise any objections. It’s a job which they like and which runs their home.
