So Masand thinks it is pertinent to ask an actress how it is working opposite an actor who is 10 years her junior, how come he does not ask the same questions to certain leading men who work opposite actresses 20-25 years younger than them?

It's good she talked about Iruver instead and pointed finger at older males working with 20 something girls.

Why always making it a male-female issue? Male stars are regularly asked this question.

King Khan has no qualms over romancing actresses half his age and about the same, he said, "I don't feel age in number of years. I think of girls as women once they become 18, I have lot of love for them. Working with Katrina, I got to learn a lot. She has a different way of approaching films."

First of all she is 8 yrs older than him, not 10. Agree with ponymo, he points out the sexism in the movie industry and then asks this. How hypocritical!

It is rare that male stars are asked this question. You make a film with an older actress and a younger male actor, it will raise a lot more eyebrows than the other way round.

And I spoke of that here because of Masand, who made a headline of their age gap, whereas he never really quizzed the male stars in his interviews that way.

I dont watch Masand's interviews...but I regularly read SRK's interviews and he is asked this question many times. I think most male actors are asked.

She should have given the example of Robot instead. Iruvar was very loosely based on a real story and Jayalalitha was much younger to MGR, so the age difference was supposed to be there.

Like someone already mentioned, SRK is asked this question A LOT. All the time. And sometimes in very condescending ways. Masand himself has done it quite a few times.
