16 onscreen couples with huge age gaps between them

Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt’s chemistry in the latest Dear Zindagi teaser has gotten everybody talking. The glaring age difference between the two (spoiler alert: it’s 27 years!) is one of the major topics of discussion currently, even sparking debates about ageism in Bollywood. This also brings attention to the upcoming movie Ae Dil Hai Mushkil that has Ranbir Kapoor romancing Aishwarya Rai. Despite the pair being the human embodiment of the fire emoji, and the difference between their ages being just 8 years, people have pointed out the oddity of their onscreen love story.

Whether it’s Hollywood or Bollywood, it is not unusual to see actors with huge age differences cast opposite each other (we’ve got two Dabangg movies and three Deepika Padukone-SRK ones to vouch for that!) We’ve rounded up some onscreen pairings who have a difference of at least 15 years between them.
