On Madhuri Dixit and Ishaan Khatter’s Romance, Sonakshi Sinha Said it was a Little Strange

When Sonakshi Sinha was questioned about sexism in the business, the actress’s response infuriated online users.

Over the years, we have seen numerous actors romance much younger women in the movies, and everyone is quite happy with the idea. However, females romancing younger actors is not a widely accepted idea. Bollywood has provided the audience many successful onscreen pairings. When Sonakshi Sinha was once questioned about why it is strange to see Madhuri Dixit dating Ishaan Khatter rather than Salman Khan dating a 21-year-old, Sonakshi’s response is evidence of how deeply sexism is ingrained in our society.

The Noor actress was questioned about her thoughts on the widening age gap between male and female actors after the release of the Dabangg 3 teaser. The actress was perplexed by the query, and internet users responded to her response in a variety of ways.

Sonakshi Sinha was questioned about the age differences between on-screen partners in an interview she had. The actress was questioned about her thoughts on if roles were reversed and a mature actress like Madhuri Dixit romanced Ishaan Khatter. The interviewer used the example of Salman Khan romancing a 21-year-old. The actress was totally stumped by her query.

Answering the journalist’s question, Sonakshi Sinha was quick to reply and said, “Oh wow! If you put it that way, would you want to see Madhuri Dixit romancing an Ishaan Khatter?” When the interviewer answered in the affirmative, the Kalank actress said, “That’s a bit… I don’t know. That’s a bit odd.” The actress was then questioned why it is odd by the journalist; the actress further added, “I don’t know, actually. I have not thought of it that way

When the old footage started to circulate online, internet users reacted quickly and had a variety of opinions about what she said. Many also commended the journalist for having the balls to pose the question.

A user said, “She obviously doesn’t know… Poor thing has never been instructed to think in such a way.

When Kareena mentioned that Sonakshi is a housewife, she was correct.

“S*xism.”

“Lmao, her reaction says it all.”

Face of awakening.
