Even after the world has set foot in the 21st century, a lot of fuss is still being made about the younger man older woman relationship trend.
The first celebrity couple that comes to mind when talking about this trend is undoubtedly Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. But our very own Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh had started this trend in India more than a decade back. Yes, that relationship has since come to an end. But, the question that begs to be asked is this - "Did the relationship end because of the younger man/older woman scenario? Can such relationships ever last?"
Anjali & Sachin Tendulkar
In spite of the 4 year difference between Anjali and Sachin, the master blaster did not have any doubts when proposing to a woman older than him. After 2 children and 10 happy years of marriage, this couple has shown that compatibility is what matters most and not so much - age.
Aishwarya Rai & Abhishek Bachchan
Undoubtedly one of the most glamorous Bollywood couples in recent years, the AbhiAsh saga of love came to its fitting end when they married last year. Ash is 2 years older than Abhi but the age difference was no barrier for their love.
Tanaaz & Bakhtiyar Irani
This famous telly couple had to overcome a lot of obstacles before they could get married, but none had to do with the fact that Tanaaz is more than 5 years older than her man. They have recently been blessed with a baby boy and seem very much in love and content with their lives.
Archana Puran Singh & Parmeet Sethi
Here's a couple who weren't expected to make it, not just by the media but also their close friends. But they fought the odds and have come out the winners. Yes, they too have their share of marriage issues, but Archana being older than Parmeet has never really been one.
Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell
This Hollywood couple have been together for the past 25 years, and although they haven't officially tied the knot, they have brought up four children and have spent the better part of their lives in a happy relationship. It seems that the 5 year age gap really is just a statistic and nothing more.
Madonna & Guy Ritchie
Always a trend setter, Madonna became part of the older woman/younger man trend when she married Guy Ritchie who is 10 years her junior. But their partnership is stronger than ever, so much so that they are even thinking of adopting an African baby! (Recent news has it that this couple may be parting ways - because they have reportedly fallen out of love - and not their age difference!)
Kashmira Shah & Krishna Abhishek
Although Govinda (Krishna's uncle) and his other family members did not initially approve of his relationship with Kashmira, they have since accepted her as part of Krishna's life despite the fact that she is older than him. Love and complete understanding of their partner is what keeps this relationship strong.
Victoria & David Beckham
Yes, there have been rumours of a split between Posh and Becks, but this couple is definitely very much together. If anything will drive them apart it is the continuous media intrusion into their lives and not their small difference in ages.
