nears the age of 60, his life remains under a looming threat from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang. However, that hasn’t deterred the Bollywood superstar from focusing on his career—particularly his desire to romance young actresses on the big screen.As Salman Khan
Recently, Salman openly expressed his wish to work with much younger leading ladies, including Ananya Panday and Janhvi Kapoor. Both actresses, in their early 20s, are less than half his age. Yet, Salman, known for his larger-than-life persona, still sees himself as youthful and energetic enough to pair up with them.
While he acknowledged that such casting choices invite criticism, Salman defended his stance, admitting that he has to think “ten times” before making such decisions. However, despite the backlash, he remains undeterred. His statement sparked an even stronger reaction online, with netizens advising him to “think twenty times” and urging him to act his age.
The debate over age-appropriate casting in Bollywood isn’t new, but fans are increasingly vocal about their concerns. While many believe that “age is just a number,” others argue that there should be a sense of propriety and realism in cinema. Critics point out that such large age-gap pairings appear forced and can feel uncomfortable to audiences.
Currently, Salman is promoting his upcoming film Sikandar, where he is paired with Rashmika Mandanna, who is 28 years old—again, leading to backlash. Fans hope that the superstar takes a cue from the ongoing criticism and reconsiders his choices.
With changing audience perspectives and evolving industry dynamics, it remains to be seen whether Salman will adapt or continue his long-standing tradition of romancing much younger actresses on screen.Read more
