Honestly to me , itâs not just about the âage gapâ on paper, itâs about whether the actors actually look the part and fit the characterâs age and vibe. Thatâs why the Gashmeer-Sumbul pairing in Imlie worked for me as they both suited their characters perfectly.Sumbul looked like "imlie" and Gashmeer looked like "AKT"
In YRKKH, I felt Pranali didnât quite look the part initially, considering she was meant to be around 4 years older than Arohi. It made the pairing feel a bit off compared to the storyâs context. But then later,I saw Pranali in KKB4, she played Prarthana beautifully opposite Namik. Both of them looked and felt perfectly in sync with their characters, and the age gap didnât feel awkward at all to me & they were just gorgeous together .
So yeah, itâs really more about character believability and chemistry, not just numbers. Even if thereâs an age difference, if both actors fit the roles naturally, I connect without any distraction. Totally agree with your point about thresholds, everyoneâs comfort with intensity, chemistry, and believability is different.
