Akshay Kumar sparked buzz after Bhoot Bangla’s first song showed him romancing Vamika Gabbi, highlighting a 26-year age gap, and he’s not alone in Bollywood often pairing older heroes with younger actresses.
In 'Dhurandhar 2', Ranveer Singh romances actress Sara Arjun, who is 20 years younger than him. Many people are objecting to their on-screen pairing due to the big age gap. However, the film is smashing records at the box office.
