The age disparity between female leads and Bollywood is one of the most contentious issues. The discussion reached its height when Salman Khan (Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan) romanced Rashmika Mandanna in Sikandar, and it has resurfaced as Aamir Khan, the next Khan, gets ready for the debut of his movie Sitaare Zameen Par. The age difference between Aamir and Genelia D'Souza Deshmukh, his female protagonist, was the subject of the interview. Interestingly, Aamir's nephew Imran Khan's bond with Genelia is still fresh in people's minds.

Aamir Khan on age-gap with Genelia Deshmukh

In his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan, who was most recently seen in Kajol's Salaam Venky, will be playing Genelia D'Souza Deshmukh. The actor admitted to it when questioned and shared the same worry with The Indian Express, but he also made another observation. Since VFX allows performers to seem younger (or older) than their actual age, Aamir believes that it is no longer a worry.

Aamir Khan on romancing Genelia Deshmukh after nephew Imran Khan already received love for chemistry with her

Back when Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan was making his Bollywood debut with Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, little would he know that he and Genelia D'Souza Deshmukh were setting a standard for romance. The on-screen pair received much love and continue doing so till date. 15 years later, uncle Aamir Khan is seen romancing Genelia on-screen as they play husband and wife in Sitaare Zameen Par. Although acknowledging the thought, Aamir laughed it out as he went on to state, "That was a long time ago. And ab Imran bhi kaafi mere age ka ho gaya hai." Not just Aamir, Sitaare Zameen Par would see Genelia also back in Hindi films after a long gap.
