Dilip Kumar – Saira Banu
Farhan Akhtar – Adhuna Bhabani
Kumar married actress and beauty queen Saira Banu in year 1966 when he was aged 44 and she was 22.
Boney Kapoor – Sridevi
Sridevi's marriage in 1996 to Boney Kapoor created a furore, because the movie producer was already married with two children. Moreover, he was eight years her senior and it was rumoured that Sri was already six months pregnant with his child at the time. Today, however, the couple have been married for more than a decade and have two daughters of their own. She's 45 and he's 53, but who's counting anymore?
Dharmendra – Hema Malini
Theirs is an interesting love story. Dharmendra was already married when he fell in love with Hema Malini on the sets of Sholay and is 13 years her senior. He apparently converted to Islam so as to be able to marry her. There wasn't unusual or unresolved trouble between the two of them, despite the age difference. They have two daughters out of the wedlock, Esha and Ahaana and are share a very cordial relationship.
Ajay Devgn – Kajol
One of the Indian movie industry's most powerful couples, Kajol and Ajay Devgan have a six and a half year difference in their ages.
Parmeet Sethi – Archana Puran
Age Gap-6 yrs Here's a couple who weren't expected to make it, not just by the media but also their close friends. But they fought the odds and have come out the winners. Yes, they too have their share of marriage issues, but Archana being older than Parmeet has never really been one.
Akshay Kumar –Twinkle Khanna
Known to be a ladies' man, 41-year-old Bollywood badshah Akshay settled into domestic bliss with former actress Twinkle, 34 in 2001. The six year age-gap between the two seems to work for them.
Sanjay Dutt – Manyata Dutt
The 19 year age gap between Sanjay and Manyata doesn't seem to affect their relationship at all. Manyata has been with him through thick and thin (they knew each other for nine years before getting married) and is currently penning a biography on Dutt.
Saif Ali Khan – Kareena Kapoor
This is not the first time where the junior Nawab is in a relationship with someone with wide age difference. He was only 21 years old at the time of his marriage with Amrita Singh, who was 33 years old at the time. The marriage went steady for 13 years before the couple called it quit. Currently, Saif is dating KareenaKapoor, who is 11 years younger to him
Salman Khan – Katrina Kaif
Sallu is 46 and Kat is 27. That pegs their difference at 19 years!
Aamir Khan – Kiran Rao
Aamir Khan seems to have taken a page out of Tom Cruise's book when it comes to younger women. The diminutive Bollywood powerhouse is 44, almost a decade older than 30-something second wife Kiran Rao.
Jai Mehta – Juhi Chawla
Jai Mehta is reported to be only 5-6 years older than Juhi, but he appears to have aged fast which makes the age difference appear much larger!
Riteish Deshmukh – Genelia D'Souza
The couple to be married in Feb 2012 and which came out in the open recently only to show up in every single get-together in B-town have a considerable age difference too. Riteish is 9 years older than Genelia. He was born in 1978 whereas Genelia was born in 1987.
Bollywood couples where the woman is older:
Sunil Dutt – Nargis
Legendary actor Sunil Dutt married actress Nargis who was a year elder to him. The couple fell in love on the sets of 'Mother India' and soon got married. They both were happily married until Nargis died in 1981 due to cancer.
Farhan Akhtar – Adhuna Bhabani
Director-turned-actor, Farhan Akhtar is married to Adhuna Bhabani who is six years elder to him. Farhan is the son of noted lyricist and writer, Javed Akhtar. Adhuna is a hairstylist and runs a salon with her brother. In spite of their huge age difference, the couple has never faced the brunt of it.
Abhishek Bachchan – Aishwarya Rai
Abhishek who got married to Aishwarya in April 2007 is three years younger to her. While Abhishek was born on February 5, 1976, Aishwarya was born on November 1, 1973. In spite of being married for more than four years, their age difference has never created any trouble in their married life.
Samrat Dahal – Manisha Koirala
Manisha Koirala tied the knot with Samrat Dahal in June, 2010. Samrat is seven years younger than Manisha Koirala. Even though both of them were very much in love when they got married, their marriage hit the rocks, soon after even though they haven't divorced.
Shirish Kunder – Farah Khan
Farah is almost eight years elder to Shirish but their age difference has never been an issue between them. While Farah was born on January 9, 1965, Shirish was born on May 24, 1973.
Mahesh Babu – Namrata Shirodkar
South Superstar Mahesh Babu married Bollywood actress Namrata Shirodkar in 2005. Namrata is 2 years older than Mahesh Babu. They have a six year old son named Gautam Gattamaneni.
Dev Patel – Freida Pinto
Age Gap- 6 yrs Hmmm! Who said not too long ago that Dev was "just a kid"? Was it you, Frieda? Well, it seems the 24-year-old actress seems to have reconsidered that romantic angle -- she's dating Dev, 19 and his mother has confirmed it too. The six-year gap isn't that big a deal anymore, we suppose!
