well why don’t some directors try it then? When was the last time a big male star was paired opposite an actress of the same age? I think in recent times it was just srk and Kajol in dilwale. But besides that all the big male actors are starring with actresses who are so much younger than them.
If more producers and directors gave the older actresses a chance then the audience will also accept it. If they can make the older male actors look hot and desirable then why can’t they do the same with the older actresses? because there is no way srk, salman, ajay, Amir or akshay look like they are in their 20s or 30s
It’s really discriminative, so many of the older actresses are so beautiful, kajol, raveena, tabu, Urmila, Madhuri, karishma, rani, aishwarya are only doing ott things or 1-2 films every now and then, why can’t they be paired opposite the khans? I honestly would love to see them more onscreen in bigger films, I’m sure many people would, but they need the opportunity
