Sonakshi Sinha Reveals An Older Actor Denied Working With Her, Called Her “Older Looking.” Excuse Me, Who?
Sonakshi Sinha talks about how male actors are never shamed for romancing actresses 30 years younger than them.
Sonakshi Sinha has time and again proved her skills with excellent cinema like Lootera and Heeramandi. While we may feel any actor would be lucky to work with her, one actor feels otherwise. During a recent conversation, Sonakshi Sinha revealed that an older actor refused to work with her as he believed she looked older than him. Highlighting the industry’s double standards, she stated how actresses have to bear the brunt of these norms.
Sonakshi Sinha Reveals Older Actor Refused To Work With Her
During the roundtable chat with Zoom, Sonakshi Sinha highlighted how men are never shamed for romancing an actress 30 years younger than them. She continued how male actors are also not shamed for having bellies or even having less hair. It’s obvious how women have to take the burn for it.
“In fact, I’ve had to deal with actors who are older than me who’ve said, ‘She looks older than us’. I just want to thank them. I don’t want to work with a person like you,” Sinha said. She continued by saying that women always have to push boundaries. She stated how at the end of the day, they were all artists, and women shouldn’t have to struggle that much. She added, “Arey, main tumse 5-6 saal choti hoon!”

This is true in the case of se*ism against women in the industry. In this age, every mainstream hero romances a woman at least 10 years younger than him. While we consider it as not a bad thing, why a woman like Priyanka Chopra, making a conscious decision to marry Nick Jonas is a big deal? Honestly, we are so done seeing old heroes romancing actresses same age as their daughters.
