7 year old mother, 39 year old son - The Bollywood age game continues

Does age matter in Bollywood? Perhaps yes when it comes to a female applying for the position of a leading heroine. However, the moment she is willing to get into a saree and play an on-screen mom to a man who could be a few years junior or the same age or perhaps even a senior, all doors open up! After all it is nice to have a glamorous mother around on the silver screen. Joginder Tuteja takes readers down the memory lane and picks up a few examples of mother-son, father-son or mother-daughter pairing where age didn't really matter!

This isn't exactly a tale from the past. In fact this is something that has happened just this week as Poonam Dhillon made a comeback of sorts and is playing mother to Madhavan a.k.a. Maddy. Well, give us such a glamorous on-screen mother anytime, especially so when the mother and son are distanced just 8 years apart! That's true, because while Maddy is 39 years old, Poonam Dhillon is only 47 herself!
