I thought Huzaifa was younger than 32 more closer to 28-29 since he does know Isha and Rohan from college days and they both are 27 & 28 respectively. I know this doesn't really make a difference and there is still an age gap, but I think it's like Twinkle in the show said sometimes if you understand and can enjoy the company of each other then what does age difference matter. I've seen it work and I've seen it fail miserably like any relationship. Of course having the age gap can bring added pressure if you're a society conscious minded person because it is something that is easily judged, especially if the older person in the relationship is a female. I think if you're confident in yourself and love someone then why not...as long as they are on the same level with you emotionally and mentally I don't think age matters.

P.S. I love the pepper spray scene from your icon too...too funny 😆

okay so here goes my first post in this forum 😆 Welcome to the forum, Tasha!😊

i couldn't resist this post because it was something that was on my mind as well when i saw the episode (and in the episode where the elderly gentleman finally finds his match - can't remember the date atm [LOL)] . Oh yes, I think it was among the very first epis....or the first epi itself possibly....I think his name was Haldiram and he really weirded Isha out😆...only for her to discover later on that her father himself was dating a much younger woman😆... and actually this is a topic i often discuss with my friends

i like to look at things from different povs so ...

let me start with the scenarios i first thought of ....

in huzeifa and sureena's case .... I think it kinda does and doesn't ..... I mean she's 19 ..... three years ago she was 16 and huzeifa was 29 ...... when you think of it that way ........ it seems inappropriate imho - not to mention illegal 😕 ....... but obviously they didn't meet then ..... but if they had ........ it would have been a different story all together ...... Very true....THAT would have made things QUITE creepy😆....so timing is quite important too then obviously...the moment and setting in which you meet the person in question makes the difference.

isha's dad and naina (this stems from the thought process the elderly gentleman had when he was thinking about that woman in her 40s having possibly been in his son's class) ....... again their age difference ..... naina would have been below the age of 10 when isha was born ..... they could have gone to the same school 😕 ........ again when you think of it this way it seems inappropriate ........

now having said that ........

these scenarios obviously didn't happen 😆 ...... huzefa met sureena once she had graduated at least high school and was working ........ and isha's dad met naina after she turned 30 ....... so there isn't anything inappropriate (i.e., illegal) ...... so despite the age difference all individuals involved are old enough to understand on some level what is and isn't correct for them ......

it comes down to the people involved .......... isha's dad and naina are both mature and seem to understand the implications of the age difference between them as we've seen with naina being understanding about what isha might be going through and not wanting to change her dad etc Exactly....especially in this case of Isha's dad and Naina....I think it's a very crucial point that Naina is a grown woman in her 30s....not exactly a girl anymore....she's a mature, grown woman....so despite the fact that there is a gap of 25+ years b/w her and Isha's dad, she's not exactly immature despite the age difference.....they are both fully grown, mature adults....this actually vaguely reminds me of Tabu and Amitabh Bacchan's relationship from Cheeni Kum (one of my fav. movies actually....lol)....I LOVED how that relationship was shown to develop....they were both very much aware of their age differences but that didn't really matter cuz they both approached each other as adults....so while there aren't really any direct similarities to the movie, that age difference is similar....man in the 60s and woman in her early to mid 30s........

for sureena and huzeifa ...... i think the age factor alone can't be enough now to say whether or not it'll matter for them since at the moment i think their only common ground is technology ........ i think they need to figure out if they have enough else that they like about each other (or if that one thing is enough) before deciding whether or not they can move past the age difference Again a very good point....yes their relationship is at a very nascent stage at this point....they have just met and found one common ground to bond over...he's obviously smitten😆....she seems to find him cute too😆....but ultimately time will tell where this relationship goes....as of now, they haven't shown Sureena's viewpoint about their age difference directly...so let's see😆

okay now i'm rambling 😆

i don't think age difference as a factor in a relationship can be classified as relevant or irrelevant without looking at what that relationship is based on ....... so i guess i can't say that age is only a number but i can't say age is everything either🤔 I agree....the answer lies somewhere in the middle I guess😆....relationships are complex anyways....it's hard to determine what factors would be relevant in what context.

alright i'm gonna stop this long, rambling, inconclusive post now 😆 - i'm sorry if i didn't make any sense 😳

thanks for bringing this up anu (anu right?) and btw i also love the bones avis everyone else is mentioning (sorry the bones fan in me couldn't resist mentioning that) 😆 Yep, it's Anu....have we met before?😕...Sorry I don't know your name, but your ID is seeming vaguely familiar....dunno why😆....oh yay, another Bones fan!
