Salman Khan & Kajol Lock Horns Over Older Heroes Romancing Younger Heroines

Mumbai: Actors Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are featuring as the first guests on Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s talk show ‘Too Much With Kajol & Twinkle.’

On the talk show, the guests opened up about their relationships, and personal lives and even shared their viewpoint on why older heroes can romance younger heroines in films, but not vice-versa.

On the show, when host Kajol asked, “When the hero romances a younger woman, it’s called ‘cinema magic’. But when an older heroine romances a younger man, it’s called ‘bold’. Why do you think that is?”

To this, Aamir replied, “should be done based on requirement.”

Salman added, “See, depending, like there was Sridevi. If she’d have kept on working, she could have still done. Madhuri can still play if there’s a role. If there’s a younger girl and if an upcoming star or a star or the producer or the director says, ‘Mujhe ye chahiye (I want him).’”

“Ab itna kaam kar liya hain hum sab logone ki wo jodi purani lagti hain (We have worked together so much now that the pair looks old). So for a freshness in a film, that’s when you take up somebody else who you have not worked with that much,” he continued.

Soon, Kajol quipped, “It doesn’t work in the opposite way, though.”

Salman replied. “But aesi script hi kitni aati hain aap logo ke paas (But how many such scripts do you guys get)? I don’t think if the film is good and the story is woven around something like that, an older woman and a younger man, I don’t think anyone would mind that.”

‘Too Much With Kajol & Twinkle’ will be premiering on Amazon Prime Video from September 25.
