I'm glad people are discussing the weird age gaps between actors on ITV.
Onscreen-Star Plus is going crazy with showing barely legal girls romancing someone who is in the late 20s, or almost 10 year age gaps. One is still fine but then we have- SAAKK, GHKKPM, Imlie. It's bothering me right now and the largest defence is that atleast they are of age, even if it's exactly 18.
Offscreen-It is beyond me how parents, children, actors and directors are allowing this to happen. Jannat in some serial, Ashnoor Kaur from Patiala Babes, the lead in Imlie and now this serial, not to mention countless others where they are making child actors(still minors) behave like adults and romance with adults 10+ years older to them
Like someone else mentioned even in Bollywood senior actors like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, most of the big stars romance actresses half their age or 10-15 years younger instead of actresses their age.
A couple of cases is fine but normalising this culture is so weird. I find it pukeworthy and cannot watch the scenes.
