Just wanted to share with all of u what i find weird in movies are the age differences and all..

i'll give some examples:

Like if u guys have seen Kidnap... then there Sanjay dutt plays Manisha lamba's father

and manisha is 25 right now ... and in blue he is playing oposite Lara and if u see there is only 5 yeard beetwen manisha lamba and lara dutta... so i find it very weird...

and one more example is

Anil kapoor... i know he looks very young and all but still people should think abt their age differences...

if u take anil kapoor in humko deewana kar gayea there he got married to Katrina kaif and kat is 25... and Anil's own real daughter is 24...

so there is just 1 year difference between his on-screen love to his off-screen daughter...

i find it very very weird... i'm sure there are alot of more examples...

maybe some of u will think that personal life have nothing to do with professional but please think how would it feel to romace a someone in ur kids age?

Now maybe u guys are thinking abt Tabu-Amitabh... but in cheeni kum the whole situation was about that he was 30 year older and they can't get married so leave that.

Otherwise what do u guys think? don't you guys find it weird?

Please do not bash in this topic.

haha the Anil K, Kat and Sona example totally got me into a fit of laughter :)
Well, u do have a point, it sure is weird and disgusting even, in a way...
But the point is, these actors dont have a say about who they're cast opposite.
And also: Like u raised the example of Sanju-Minisha-Lara....Lara may be only 5 yrs elder to minisha, but the two of them r wayyyyy too different from each other....Lara is sorta mature in her appearance, so she suits being cast opposite Sanju i guess, and Minisha actually looks girls enuf to be cast as his daughter.
gud topic btw

i get ur point but the thing is i find manisha very mature ... i think she looks much older than her age...

and it doesn't really work that if u have a daughter age 25 u can romance a girl being 30 naa? it find it very weird but i respect ur opinion :)

i'm glad u liked my topic :)

As kamx said, actors don't get a choice of who gets cast opposite them. It all depends on the script.

Actors and actresses dont always portray roles that represent their true age - isnt the whole point of acting for the individual to play another role, character that differs from themselves and convince the audience.

Like in your example and mentioned above lara carries herself in a very mature way and so she fits into the actress role opposite sanjay, whereas minissha does look young for her age so gets away with playing the daughter.

Anil also looks remarkably young for his age

I do agree that they are all characters and so we shouldn't take the age difference too seriously.

At the same time we shouln't ignore why such age difference between co-stars exist. Actresses don't enjoy the same longevity in Bollywood, that their male counterparts do. When Ranbir Kapoor works with Konkona Sen Sharma or Bipasha or Shahid works with Rani who are barely separated by a 3 year difference, we see so many articles discussing the age difference as if it was the end of the world.

On the other hand no one bats an eyelid when Anil Kapoor works with Sameera Reddy or Katrina Kaif.

PS: I personally feel Ranbir and Konkona have been the most successful on-screen couple out of all of Ranbir's films (probably because I like WUS a lot more than his previous films)
