romantically paired opposite older actors?

Do they loose opportunities to star opposite contemporary actor or same age actors?


Though younger than Hrithik,Karishma and Kajol had to essay older roles.They were never paired opposite him.


Deepika rejected offers from Salman.Apart from SRK she has not worked with older generation actors for almost a decade.A conscious decision from her?


Sonakshi would look older was the common sentiment shared by Ranbir and Shahid many years ago.She was regular for flowerpot roles opposite older men in movies.

At 37 Maggie Gyllenhaal was seen too old for a role opposite a 55 year old actor and got rejected.


Keep the discussion to Bollywood.

No. Kajol and Karishma debuted almost a decade before Hrithik debuted. So normal audience consider them older than Hrithik.  Sonakshi looks old. She is too huge for young actors.  Priyanka started opposite SRK and Sunny Fell. Still she was paired opposite Hrithik as she debuted later. It's all about perception of common audience.

Absolutely! This is the main thing that ruined Sonakshi’s career despite her being pretty, talented and popular.

People were too used to seeing her with older stars again and again ... and that too in roles where the age-difference wasn’t worked into the plot at all- like she was portrayed as being in the same age group as Salman/Akshay 😂!

So imo basically it’s mostly dependant on what kind of roles they do early on in their career, as well as how they actually look (some people just look and seem older) and somewhat on how early/late they debut too 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Yes. esp with the new lot. probably not 5 years ago though. most are too young/look too young to be paired opposite the older actors so they are paired with youngeractors. This leaves actresses who look old enough to be paired opp older ones and leaves them being typecast (ie. sonakshi).

Your first choice wouldnt be to pair her up with the likes of ranveer..you would prefer to see her with a salman because that is what we are used to. ...its then a visious cycle where now when the likes of ranveer/ranbir become older, they too will start romancing actresses 20 years younger. and unless things change, the young actresses we like now will be considered "too old" for heroes that were considered a even slighlty older than there actresses once upon a time.

Yes, I agree with your idea. Ex. One blind said that Salman told Katrina to not do Street Dancer because she looks older than Varun, but she is only 4 years older than Varun. On the other hand, Sallu is 15+ years older than Kat and he definitely looks more mature but that pairing has been in so many films.
