This is just a fun topic.
I have seen more than three authors say that Ira is taller than alok.

My reaction is "so what? Is this an issue?"

There are so many movie stars whose wives are taller than them.

Google "Jason alexander" and see him and his wife.

He is 4'11 and his wife is 6'1. and they have two teenage sons.

There are tons of people who are shorter than their wives.

Does height matter if there is love?

Haha!

I'll clarify why I point out height difference in Alok and Ira. I don't think there's anything wrong if wife is taller, older, more qualified or whatever. I know society makes issues of this and some people even lament if their daughter grows "too tall" thinking they'd have difficulty in finding a groom for her (I disagree with such logic).

But I mainly point out because they do not seem like parents of a child as old as Shiv and Alok sometimes looks too young to be father of Sanchi also. Though it's proven Shiv is not their child but had Ira's child survived then it'd be as old as Shiv no? They both don't look that mature.

In times they married, I'm sure the virile armymen must have such biases in mind about marrying taller girls. In that light Alok-Ira looks more unconvincing.

Alok actually seems like complete miscast to me. He doesn't seem like an army guy either. Had he been in army then must have been a cook than a high ranking army officer. No build and no voice and not even attitude (disciplinarian or alert at least) of an army guy.

Very well said!Neither Alok nor any other member in the family except Meenu save Daddu for some occassions give a picture of those with control and codes.

I don't understand why the wife should be shorter than husband and also why the wife is expected to look (or be) younger than the husband. In this forum,I read quite a few posts on these two topics and wondered the same - what if she is shorter or what if she looks older to her husband

@the Alchemist --
Yes, farhan akhtar's wife is seven years older than him.

Usually it is mental compatibility that matters, not physical age.

Here, I think that both Ira and alok have had an easy path through life. They haven't seen hardship, stress. hard work, monetary problems and are therefore preserved naturally well - no lines on their faces, no worry creases. The only recent stress they experienced in their whole life has been because of saanchi 😆😆😆.

It is quite conceivable that Ira was 18 when she was married. A lot of girls during that time would get married young and continue their studies after marriage in their husband's house. So if Ira gave birth to shiv when she was 22, it stands to reason that at age 54 she would have a 32 year old son.

So I dont think Ira does NOT look like shiv's mother. She does.

That way same can be said about bhairon and sumitra too - do they look old enough to be Jagya and sumitra's parents?? (In real life sumitra has an 8 year old daughter, and she is only 33 years old) - and she has a son like Jagya who is also in her thirties?? But somehow we accept J and suguna as children of bhairon and sumitra 😆😆

I think alok's casting though was done because they were looking for a mousy type of man who let his wife and sister-in-law make all the decisions. 😆 ...and people do take on personas in different situations. Maybe he was a real task master in the army but at home he takes a back seat 😆

There is no rule that the wife should be younger or shorter than the husband.

BV creatives never bothered to 'age' the parents when their children grew up. So Bhairo, Sumitra, Basant and Gahna still look the same as they were when Anandi and Jagya were less than 10 year old. Now Anandi- Jagya are in their late twenties but the look of older generation is still the same. So Shiv's parents also do not look "their" age. Who could say that Ira-Alok were actually celebrating their 37th anniversary? Even if Alok-Ira were 22 years old at the time of their marriage - their present age should be 59 years - even Ira does not look 59 years old. Daddu must be in his seventies or early eighties- does he look like one?

i know where all that post had come from and it doesn't look odd if wife is older than husband but it's just that in BV no wife is older than her husband yet few people feel in certain couple man looks younger than wife
