We are living in modern times, but are we really modernised enough in terms of our thinking? While, we do accept love stories on celluloid with a much older man romancing a girl half his age, are we ready to accept such love stories in real life? Especially when the woman is older than the man?
Take the instance of Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor. The much-in-love couple will finally settle in matrimony in the month of April. As much as we are happy for the couple, we also know that there is a huge section of the audience that isn’t too accepting of the age difference factor and continues poking fun at them.
This makes us wonder if as a society we have really progressed when it comes to our thinking. There have been several couples where the guy has been quite older to the girl, but we have seldom questioned their love story. Why is it then that we target couples where the woman is older to the man? It’s a perception that needs to change. SpotboyE.com did an interesting podcast regarding the same.
