Would an older actress and younger actor work in mainstream? - Page 2

I've mentioned some of these before but...

Rekha (born 1954) and Hrithik (born 1974) are only 20 years apart... yet she's often played his grandmother.

But we easily accept the 21 year age gap of SRK (born 1965) + Deepika (1986), or Amitabh (born 1942) + Sridevi (born 1963).

Some of you will laugh or even feel sick at the thought of Rekha and Hrithik together because society is so deeply entrenched in patriarchy, I myself admit, it does feel somewhat "odd" to have paired them up like this, so yikes to me.

I would actually love to see Madhuri and Hrithik together romantically... only 7 year age gap... come on Bollywood!!

Rekha only played Hrithik's grandmother when Hrithik was playing his own father. 😆 Rekha is a close family friend to the Roshans - she used to babysit Hrithik and changed his diapers - so I'm going to nope out of that pairing. A shame because they'd have been gorgeous together.

Hrithik & Madhuri - yes! Seven years is nothing, should have already happened.

I'm 😆 at Shahid/Rani. She's 3 years older than him. Might as well point out Ash/ABJr, Sridevi/Salman or Katrina/ARK who are all about 2 years apart.

Audience is regressive. Films with older actress and younger actor did not work commercially.

Plenty of stories can be tried. But I do not think masses are evolved enough to accept the films.

Akshay and Rekha in Khiladhiyon ka Khiladhi.They had an age gap of 13 years.

Rekha played a vamp in it. Hardly a proper pairing. Akshay gets close to her only to take revenge for his brother.

It is stereotypical to show older women as vamps or nymphomaniacs.

The film didn't do well.

Causation does not equal correlation.

15 of his other flops/disasters had younger leading ladies.

Why wouldn’t they ?

That woman from Badhai Ho is begging for roles 😆
