Something different now and has it happened before.
Thinking Bipasha is 35. Imran Abbas is 31. So 4 years difference.

What do you think about this and does it work.

Could do

There are some very attractive older women who don't look like aunties. Most of the actresses I like are a lot older than me.

I still think Preity Zinta, Malaika Arora, Madhuri, Aishwaryia are attractive... In their 40 and up.



Is it still taboo?

Nothing wrong as long as the makers aren't putting spotlight on the age gap crap.

Btw, Bips looked hot with Ranbir in BAH.

I liked Shahid and Rani in Hadippa, though Rani looked like his big sis but their dance was good. Rani is one of the few who could match up to Shahid moves, while Vidya on the other hand completely was not matching Shahid in KK.

Ash and Hrithik are my most fav pair, though there is only one year gap between them.

Kareena and Imran did look good in whatever movies they did, though Kareena is 3 years older techincally and much older in terms of bw career.

Saif and Amrita in real life, 11 years!!

Saif and Dimple in Being Cyrus, haven seen the film but heard about the movie.

My fav though is Akshaye and Dimple in Dil Chahta Hai. There was a spark!

Bips was with Ranbir in Bachna Aye Haseeno. Nowhere in the film they mentioned the age gap, so no one bothered thinking about age gap.

In WUS, it was mentioned once that Aisha was older than Sid, but focus was not on age gap like they didn't show that scene in any of the promos; they never mentioned it during the promotions as well. So, audience was okay with it.

During Kismat Konnection promotions Vidya Balan talked about that age thing over and over again (She said - This is the first time I'm working with someone of my age, not an older hero.. blah blah).. that's the reason people ridiculed her calling "Vidya Aunty".

Age is not the factor unless the two act well in any movie. Thats what I think.:)

I loved Rani and Shahid in DBH 😳 would like to see them in a different kind of movie...Shahid was just the cute boy in DBH

what is 4 years difference to 20-25 years difference ? I really don't see what's the problem with actresses being paired with younger actors...if the older actors can so can actresses !!!
