People are critical about the pairing due to the huge age gap. 26 year old Alia romancing 53 year old Salman, that makes for an almost thirty year age gap.

When Alia was out promoting her next release, Kalank, she was questioned about this particular issue. The actress who is known for her bold choices on the big screen, decided to address the issue and here’s what she had to say – “I didn’t get any criticism. I think I got a lot of excitement. I think speculation is also a form of excitement in a way and why shouldn’t there be speculation. There should be and at least I’m not bothered by that and I don’t think Salman and Bhansali sir are bothered. I think this is a filmmaker who has given very good films, he is someone who we all are very fond of and I think we should just trust him with his vision.”
Salman Khan will be seen in Bharat and also has 3 big films lined up for the coming year. On the other hand, Alia also has Kalank and Brahmastra.
