Akshay Kumar Faces Backlash For Romancing Manushi Chhillar, Know The Age Gap Between The Actors
Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar is once again under the spotlight, but this time for his on-screen romance with Manushi Chhillar in the upcoming film, 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan'.
Akshay Kumar And Manushi Chillar In Wallah Habibi Song
As anticipation built for 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan', the release of the film's latest song, "Wallah Habibi," ignited a storm of criticism.
The video prominently features Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar engaged in romantic sequences, a pairing that failed to resonate with the audience.
Internet Outrage:
Netizens wasted no time in pointing out the glaring age difference of 30 years between Akshay and Manushi.
Their scathing remarks condemned the actor's decision to engage in such a pairing, accusing him of prioritising sensationalism over artistic integrity.
The backlash against Akshay Kumar reached a crescendo as online commentators labelled the song and its accompanying visuals as "embarrassing and shameful." The public outcry underscored a growing discomfort with the industry's tendency to overlook age-appropriate casting choices.
One of the X users wrote, "Akshay and Manushi dancing together looks like a father and daughter dancing."
Another said, "it's crazy af, before, at least you would expect actresses to speak against it. straight up 30 years of difference between akshay and manushi chillar. i think the only other pairing with this big a gap was Disha Patani and Salman Khan in Radhe."
This isn't the first instance where Akshay Kumar has faced criticism for his on-screen romances with significantly younger actresses. His pairing with Manushi Chhillar in 'Samrat Prithviraj' in 2022 also sparked similar controversies, with audiences deeming the coupling awkward and unrealistic.
