Radhikka Madan talks about age difference with Akshay Kumar
In a conversation with Rudrani Chattoraj, Radhikka Madan shared her thoughts on the online discourse regarding the 27-year age gap she had with her Sarfira The actress explained that the reason for the huge age difference was explained in the film: “It’s really weird because when the film was announced and the trailer came out, we got a lot of comments about the age difference, but after the film came out, people said, ‘We didn’t mind.’ It’s because they understood the story behind it. Right from the beginning, the film talked about it. My opening scene touched on it.”
The B-town diva added that the age difference was an integral part of the film’s plot, saying, “It was very important because they were not in love with their looks. Rani and Veer were both rebels, dreamers and they were disappointed by society. No one could understand them and then they found someone they could relate to. That’s why they felt attracted to her. It wasn’t just because she was young and beautiful.”
Radhikka also spoke about how her character married Veer only after she learned to respect herself and him, as she knew people would perceive their marriage in a negative light. “That’s why I said yes (to the film). Why not? I don’t mind,” the actress said.
