It would be odd to see older actress paired with young guys: sonakshi - Page 4

Salman doesn't look young from any angle.. he looks his age

The people who are giving pravachan and bashing Sonakshi for saying this ,why don’t there is no wah wahi for tabu and Ishaan starring “suitable boy” ? As some one said we audience are not ready to watch/accept those movies....arey bhai kisne roka hai to watch those movies and make them hit ?

that said what she said is her personal choice yet people have problem...😆

But it doesn't mean 54 year old should be romancing 21 year old girl

It won't be odd, it would be even.

But for that Sonakshi needs an "even" brain! 😆

Every movie doesnt need to have romance , for e.g SRK could have done Big B's role in Badla . Truth is BW cant write good stories for leading men past their prime

I think that is kind of the issue - if an older actress romances a younger hero, the age is actually part of the plot line... Like the example you gave

But here the 50 year old men romance 20 year old girls and nowhere does the story allude to the age gap.... Age is not the plot.. So a nishabd pairing makes sense but not a dabang 3.

@bold :So true!

Sonakhso- a prime example how BW movies influence this dumb mentality of 'it's okay for older actors to have young heroines, but not for older actresses to have younger heroes'.

What do you expect her to say? She isn't dumb. She's saying what she needs to in order to survive. She had to suck up to Salman because her next movie is with him and she knows she only gets roles opposite guys like him and Akshay.

Putting the weaker person up to this line of questioning doesn't make sense. Sonakshi has no power in these situations. These questions should be asked to the men who hold the power.

And frankly, I also find it stupid to blame the male stars. They are just catering to society. If there was a demand for older actresses, they would provide it. But there isn't. Who is watching movies like Bucket List or Helicopter Eela or The Sky is Pink?

If actresses want to act opposite men 20 years younger than them, produce the movie and take the risk and do it. That's what the male stars do, don't they? But they also know society won't accept it and they don't want to lose their money so they want others to produce it for them.

@bold: also very true.

She answered in a very 'political' manner. Neither incriminating, nor judging.

*someone said Sona should be a politician. I guess they weren't wrong. She's quite the diplomate. Imagine if she started accusing the big male stars- she'd get no movies. She does what is best for her to survive in the industry*.

We have seen Salman Khan romancing Revathi. Revathi is now playing mother of Alia Bhatt but Salman Khan is romancing a 21-year-old you know, so this difference of age gap, has this ever bothered you? Have you ever thought because it never happens the other way around. We never see a Madhuri Dixit romancing Ishaan Khatter. So can you tell me what do you think about it? The age gap is just becoming bigger and bigger.

Sonakshi Sinha: Oh wow! If you put it that way, but would you want to see Madhuri Dixit romancing an Ishaan Khatter?

Of course why not? Yes.

Sonakshi Sinha: That’s a bit... I don’t know. That’s a bit odd.

Why is it not odd when Salman Khan is romancing a 21-year-old? Why is it odd when Madhuri Dixit is romancing an Ishaan Khatter?

Sonakshi Sinha: I don’t know, actually. I have not thought of it that way.

Yeah, we should think about it.

Sonakshi Sinha: You should ask him only know? What is he eating or what is he doing to keep looking so young and keep romancing the younger girls with every film.

No, we don’t have a problem with it. We have a problem that people are not accepting women doing the same thing.

Sonakshi Sinha: Honestly, if I was, I was at an age of 50, I would feel odd romancing a guy who’s 22-years-old. So that’s a personal opinion. So yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it’s possible. But it has happened, there has been a film where there was somebody...

That’s sexist, isn’t it?

Sonakshi Sinha: That just shows what kind of a country we live in.

This is similar to the character certificates our society distributes to guy vs lady when they have multiple relationships

A older woman with a younger guy in an appropriate story doesn't look weird.

A older woman trying to be a young woman in an inappropriate story(showing both guy and girl as same age group) will seem odd.

Same way an older man with younger girl in an age appropriate story doesn't look weird, maybe creepy, but not weird.

An older man with a younger girl, trying to be same age, looks weird and creepy both.
