to the people who again here to insult a actor by saying he is how many years older than parul...
my answer is what matters is how old u look...
if u look 40 and are actually 60 ..you wont look convincing playing role of 60 year old as viewers who see you on screen don't have your birth certificate in hands...they just look at Ur face and judge for themselves how old u look, unless some makeup is done skillfully and way everything is projected...
so now coming to point parul may be closer in age to kiny but he looks younger than her...and it is my POV and also i have seen it being said before in forum too...also people saw parul as a regal and graceful ragini of post leap...so if she comes back as ragini she needs to continue on that grace and cannot rewind back to chulbuli 19 years old...
that is why apu can be 45 years old or 35 or 30 what matters is he looks about 28-30 and on top has much superior acting skills to carry any complex role..and also has no qualms about playing a father to a child of 8 or even 10...(am not sure if he would agree to play father to older kid?)
so this is simple reason he would match perfectly with parul as she looks about 25-28 with her hairdo as ragini and her graceful persona full of regality and dignity...
hence stop comparing this real age..what matters is what is reel age and does it look convincing..that matters...
