Kajol Reveals Salman and Aamir’s Tactful Response to Bollywood Age Gap

Discussion on Age Gaps in Bollywood

Salman Khan and Aamir Khan appeared as guests on the inaugural episode of *Two Much*, hosted by Kajol and Twinkle Khanna. During the episode, they were posed a question about the noticeable age gap between male and female actors in Bollywood. Kajol pointed out that their responses seemed evasive, admitting they “beat around the bush” instead of addressing the issue directly.

Kajol’s Perspective

Kajol expressed her thoughts about the discussion, sharing, “They went around the topic quite nicely, I don’t think we did that, did we really?” She emphasized that while such discussions are vital, they often transcend individual control, making it challenging to express frustration.

Insights from Salman and Aamir

In the same episode, Kajol raised an interesting point: “When the hero romances a younger woman, it’s called ‘cinema magic’, but when an older heroine dates a younger man, it’s termed ‘bold’. Why is that?” Aamir replied that casting decisions should align with the story’s requirements.

Salman added, “We have worked together so much that the pair looks old. To maintain freshness in films, it’s necessary to partner with actors you haven’t shared the screen with extensively.” Kajol acknowledged that this scenario usually doesn’t apply to female leads, highlighting a recurring pattern in Bollywood.

The dialogue continued to shed light on the age gap theme, with many notable actors like Aamir, Shahrukh, and Salman participating in projects where their female co-stars are significantly younger. Some recent examples include films such as *Sikandar*, *Sitaare Zameen Par*, and *Dabangg*.
