Bollywood actresses who romanced young actors on the big screen

We have always seen that actors in their 40s and 50s romance young actresses. Do you know that the age gap between Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma is 22 years? Salman Khan is 18 years older than Katrina Kaif, and a 54-year-old Aamir Khan romanced a 27-year-old Fatima Sana Shaikh in Thugs Of Hindostan.

But well, things are changing in Bollywood and there are many actresses who have romanced actors younger than them on the big screen.

Not once, but twice Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has romanced actors who are younger than her. In Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, the actress romanced Ranbir Kapoor who is 9 years younger than her. Well, their sizzling chemistry was the highlight of the film. In last year’s release Fanney Khan, Aishwarya was seen romancing Rajkummar Rao who is 11 years younger than her. The scenes featuring the two were the saving grace of the film.

Nargis Fakhri – Varun Dhawan/Ranbir Kapoor
