Akshay Kumar on age-gap love story with Wamiqa Gabbi in Bhooth Bangla: ‘Toh kya hai? Pehle dekha nahi kya?’

Lately there has been a lot of debate around the age-gap between two actors romancing onscreen in a film. We witnessed the same when 20-year-old Sara Arjun was cast opposite Ranveer Singh, 40, in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. Or when Rashmika Mandanna, 29, played the wife of Salman Khan, 60, in Sikandar. In a recent interview, while promoting his next film, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, 58, shared his views on the same. Up next, he will be seen opposite 32-year-old Wamiqa Gabbi in the much-awaited Priyadarshan horror comedy Bhooth Bangla.In a chat with News 18, sharing his thoughts on age-gap onscreen love stories, Akshay Kumar said, “Toh kya hai? Humne pehle dekha nahi hai kya kabhi? It happens in Hollywood as well. Sometimes, it’s the requirement of the script. (In real life too), so many people get married to partners older or younger than them.” Talking about his co-star Wamiqa Gabbi, Akshay shared, “I first met Wamiqa when we were shooting for Bhooth Bangla. She works very differently. She keeps reading her scenes and rehearsing for them. She gets very serious. Tabu is more serious than her. Vidya, who I’m working with in Anees Bazmee ji’s film, on the other hand, believes in being a free actor.”
