The article discusses a recent debate on age-gap romances in Bollywood, specifically highlighting the dynamics between older male actors and younger female co-stars. Kajol, along with Twinkle Khanna, hosted a chat show called "Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle," where they had a discussion with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan about this trend. In the conversation, Kajol pointed out a perceived double standard: when an older male actor romances a younger actress, it is often viewed as "cinema magic," while an older female actor pairing with a younger male lead is seen as "bold." Aamir Khan suggested that casting should be based on the film's requirements, rather than age considerations. Salman Khan mentioned that if a story is well-written, audiences might accept an older woman paired with a younger man, but this is less common in Bollywood. Kajol also noted that Salman Khan and Aamir Khan avoided directly addressing the age-gap issue during the show, which aligns with other reports that they "beat around the bush" on the topic[2][3]. The discussion highlights the prevalence of older male actors being paired with younger female co-stars in Bollywood, such as Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, and Aamir Khan with Genelia D'Souza, while examples of older female actors paired with younger male leads are less common[1].
