Recently launched SB serial, na umr ki seema ho is conceptualized, marketed, promoted, casted and even being executed currently as Age gap couple's love story, unlike Radhamohan which was hyped as 'Iss Mohan ko Uss Mohan se milaane ki kahaani' & then promoted as one sided devotion turned love as one of its plot of the story, amongst others.
Neither channel nor producer nor actors hyped RM serial as age gap story of main leads. There's huge difference on how such age gap couple stories get marketed, promoted, written, performed & executed.🤪

Sharing part of my old post which I made in May in this forum, here below.
Age gap couple stories are not new on Indian onscreen be it in fiction TV serials or films or web shows.
If we have look at some old or recent hindi TV soaps and get to read synopsis of story lines or about man lead characters, Kasamhse, Kehta hai Dil, Kuch to Log Kehenge, Astitva, Parichay, Aapke aaja nese etc. are some popular hindi serials that were written and also promoted as AGE GAP COUPLE stories from the begining, so characterization and casting was also APPROPRIATELY done.
And most of these couples were shipped onscreen with considerable fan following. btw Kasamhse, Astitva, Aapke aaja nese were Zeetv serials.
Age has LEAST to do with deep love☺️ but societal, family and individual complexities are not easy to handle in such age gap couple stories, that was the intent of content shown in above old TV serials. And chemistry was still built between lead couple through their portrayal, characterizations, styling, usage onscreen even if physically they looked odd, be it older man-young woman as a couple or older woman-young man as a couple. And it seems most often such couples were shown well educated and had some complimentary qualities, maturities, family responsibilities, career as common factors, though they may be from different backgrounds altogether.
