there were 2 different pictures used.
While in one it looks 4-5 years gap, the other says about 10 years of gap with one looking months old & another about 10.
I seriously don't think the small glimpses of pictures we saw were supposed to be taken as fact of reference to their age. Since it appeared for only 5 sec.
It was used for the sake of using a picture to covey dadi's sorrow to the audiences according to the demand of the scene.
The scene demanded 2 kids to be in the picture, so they just put any old picture available to them with 2 kids in it. So those pictures can't be taken as facts.
If pictures are to be taken as facts, 1st we need to find out who is siddhi's real brother out of the 2 ?

To me both kids look different.
& Angad being of same age as of Guddu, was only said by Durga no one else. She was doing it to manipulate him. Durga's words can't be taken as facts especially when her intention was to manipulate him.
At that time Angad's mental state was far worse than now, being locked up for over a decade, he is not supposed to have sense of time & date passing. His mind was stuck in the time his so called bride left him i.e. 12 years back. So at that time may be he was of Guddu's age & he accepted Durga's words.
+ if he was going to marry 12 years ago, he must not have been less than 18 at least. So that makes him atleast 30 now. He is closer to Guddu's age than AJ.
To be honest, I think age discussion should take a back seat now. Since makers & actors have repeatedly referred AJ being over 40, & Guddu being half his age. Generation gap is a basis of the show, a basis of Akshan. If it is not there, its cheating the audiences for more than 200 episodes. In the show, AJ too accepts he is a lot older than Guddu & has a generation gap. Baki zaroorat ke mutabik reveal kiya jayega. I don't know about other's but I feel irritated seeing this discussion over the exact number repeatedly. Yes offcourse if one doesn't like, one can ignore a topic, but if this happens everyday, atleast I can't stop my mood from being spoiled.
