We often come across the term “Love is blind” when someone falls in love with a person who does not match the typical ‘perfect pairing’ criteria that the society goes by in general. There are times when a couple who has just fallen in love, irrespective of cast, creed, colour, age, wealth, social status, get criticized for being in love. And over the years, there have been several Bollywood couples who have faced severe backlash or criticism for being in love with a partner with an age gap.
Despite the 21st century and the changing times, Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi’s new love faced the wrong side of the internet with excessive trolling and backlash, after they made their relationship public. Previously, Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor also got trolled for their age gap.
