Bollywood is a house of some really talented people and there is an even greater amount of talent still waiting to be launched. But call it good, bad or whatever, it’s the glamour that always catches the eyeballs. Perhaps, that’s the reason why another name of Bollywood is ‘tinsel town’ not ‘talent town’.
Though there’s nothing harmful in glamour, often we see it overpowering the logic. Not talking about our senior actors like Rajnikanth, Shah Rukh, Salman, Aamir, Akshay romancing much younger actresses, because we are used to it. What can’t be digested is those actors playing the “Beta” of younger actresses or say the ones of equal age.
Now you will say I am high or something but Yes, it happens. Our superstars have played the onscreen sons of ladies who are actually of their similar age. Have a look-
