From Kareena Kapoor Khan-Arjun Kapoor to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-Ranbir Kapoor: Actors who romanced older actresses on screen

If you think you have seen enough of young actresses being paired opposite older actors in films, you would be glad to know that the tables have turned. Bollywood is increasingly seeing the trend reversing with stunning actresses romancing young guns on screen.

While there are some latest examples like Ranbir Kapoor-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and Arjun Kapoor-Kareena Kapoor Khan in ‘Ki & Ka’, earlier too there have been instances where young actress starred opposite actresses, from Akshaye Khanna and Dimple Kapadia in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ to Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma in ‘Wake Up Sid!’.

In case you are having troubling remembering, allow us to refresh your memories. Here’s a list of films where Bollywood actors romanced older actresses on screen.

The unusual pairing of Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won the hearts of millions of their fans across the nation. While there was a lot of hype about their age difference and their intimate scenes in the movie, once the film released, people were all praise for their performance.

In an earlier interview with a radio show, Ranbir reportedly said that his experience working with the iconic actress was great. He also went on to add that he never thought she would agree to act with him in the movie.

After working with Imran Khan in ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk TU’ and ‘Gori Tere Pyaar Mein’, Kareena Kapoor Khan went on to act with yet another young actor, Arjun Kapoor in R Balki’s ‘Ki & Ka’.

Although the concept of the movie was appreciated, the movie failed to make an impression on the audience and failed at the box-office.

Priyanka Chopra has been slaying it with her work both in Bollywood and on the global front. Like Kareena, Priyanka too has romanced young actors on screen and that includes Ranveer Singh.

Priyanka was seen opposite Ranveer and Arjun in ‘Gunday’. She later went on to romance Ranveer once again in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’.

Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma shared the screen for the first time in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Wake Up Sid!’ and despite this unusual casting of the film, it went on to win hearts.

The well-written film and his relatable characters made the film very true to the time it was released in. It received positive reviews from the audience and the critics alike.

Farhan Akhtar’s directorial debut ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ remains one of the most iconic and loved films we have in Bollywood. While even today, we remember the film for the values of friendship it taught us, the love and relationship part of the movie also touched us, especially the one between Akshaye Khanna and Dimple Kapadia’s characters.

In the film, Akshaye’s character falls in love with an older divorcee and alcoholic Dimple’s character.
