Available for over a year

With stars like Salman Khan in his 50s romancing Disha Patani who's in her 20s in the film Radhe; why is it so common for actors to star opposite heroines half their age? Does Akshay Kumar have a strategy when it comes his leading ladies? Have actors with star kids like Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan switched their acting game because their daughters are now heroines? Superstars of the 90s and 00s Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Juhi Chawla and even Kajol are struggling to make an impactful comeback - why is that? There are so many questions to answer in this week's episode where Haroon Rashid is joined by film critic Rahul Desai from Film Companion in Mumbai and film buff Sanaa from London. They explore why the Hindi film industry discriminates against actresses once they turn a certain age or get hitched.
