7 Bollywood Celebs Who Are Younger Than Their Wives
It’s the 21st century and we can all agree that age is just a number. Not everyone cares how old or young their partner is. All that matters if there is love and mutual understanding between them and that suffices. The most important thing for a couple is the bond they share and that bond goes beyond factors like age, height, money, and looks too. Back in the day, it was quite rare to see an actor marrying someone older than him but with time, that has changed. Bollywood stars have taken the plunge and married women older than them, be it a narrow or a wide age gap. They have not only found love but have also been in happy and successful marriages. So here are 11 of your favorite actors who found their soulmates in older women and did not care about “log kya kahenge”.
1. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai
They make for one of the most romantic couples of Bollywood and did not let a few years of age stop them from falling in love. Aishwarya is two years older than Abhishek but that did not come in the way of their love. Being a part of the industry, they formally met many times but Abhishek and Aishwarya saw sparks fly while shooting for the song Kajra Re, on the sets of Bunty Aur Babli in 2005. They spent more time together while shooting for the movie Umrao Jaan and on April 20, 2007, they finally tied the knot. They have a beautiful daughter Aaradhya and the family is often seen spending time together and having a lovely bond.
2. Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan
What is age when you’ve found the one you want to marry? A couple who proved this is Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan. These two love birds met on the sets of Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge and instantly clicked. Kunal is five years younger than Soha but that was never an issue for them. They were quite open about their relationship right from the beginning. They lived together for two years before Kunal proposed to Soha in Paris (Could it be more romantic?) in 2014. After a year, they tied the knot and in 2017 were blessed with a baby girl named Inaaya. They are very much in love to date and support each other immensely.
3. Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna Bhabani
The multifaceted Farhan Akhtar was married to Adhuna Bhabani. They met when he was writing the script for the film Dil Chahta Hai and got married in 2000. Adhuna Bhabani is six years older than Farhan but they decided not to let a number stop them. They have two daughters together but unfortunately in 2016 the couple filed for divorce and parted ways. In 2017, they were officially divorced and Adhuna was given custody of their children.
4. Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jessia
Hottie Arjun Rampal was married to former supermodel Mehr Jessica. They were one of the hottest couples of Bollywood and were admired by fans everywhere. Mehr is two years older than Arjun but that did not matter. They shared a beautiful marriage of 20 years and were blessed with two daughters during that time. However, in 2018 the couple mutually decided to part ways but did it amicably. They still share a beautiful bond and support each other.
5. Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty
Fitness guru Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra got married in 2009. The leggy actress is three months older than her husband and the two of them met at Shilpa’s perfume launch.

6. Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu
Bong beauty Bipasha Basu and her husband Karan Singh Grover tied the knot on April 30, 2016. They share an age difference of four years and because of this Karan’s mother was initially against their relationship. But seeing how they were madly in love with each other, she accepted Bipasha as her daughter-in-law with arms wide open. The couple will be celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary this year and they are very much in love.
7. Dhanush and Aishwarya
South Indian superstar Dhanush married the South Indian mega superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya. He is two years younger than his wife but they share a relationship of commitment and trust.
