Bollywood Actresses Who Have Romanced Elderly Actors

A bitter truth of Bollywood film industry is that, an actor gets to play the lead role even if he attains the age of 50 or more, whereas actresses stop getting lead roles by the time they turn 35. Due to this unwritten norm, in many films we have seen that the age gap between the lead actor and the lead actress is more than 20 years.

Some of these pairs have been liked by the audience, whereas some have been rejected on the grounds of being a mismatch. In this article we will talk about 6 Bollywood actresses who have romanced elderly actors in the film.
