Bollywood Age Gaps: A Recurring Controversy?
The upcoming film 'Dhurandhar' starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun has ignited a familiar debate surrounding age gaps in Bollywood pairings. This echoes past controversies, like the one involving Govinda.
'Dhurandhar' Sparks Fresh Criticism
The teaser for Ranveer Singh’s 'Dhurandhar' has been met with mixed reactions. While the action sequences are praised, the romantic pairing between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun, who is reportedly 20 years younger, has drawn criticism. Critics are questioning Bollywood's continued reliance on older male leads with much younger female co-stars.
Echoes of the Past: Govinda's Controversy
