Then there is also the perception that certain actors and Bollywood celebrities create about themselves that throws in a spanner. Take someone like Alok Nath, for example. So many times has he played the role of a 'Babuji', that people would think he's always been 60, even in the 1990s.
Here are a few pairs of Bollywood celebrities, that you'll probably find hard to believe that they are of the same age.
1. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, & Milind Soman- 54 Years
We all know that the three Khans who rule Bollywood, Amir, Salman, and Shah Rukh, are roughly the same age. Because Amir's birthday falls on the 14th of March, for about half a year, his age is one year more than the other two. However, by the time December rolls in, all the three Khans, are of the same age. Contrast them with Milind Soman, who's also 54, but somehow manages to look like he's barely into his 40s.
2. Hrithik Roshan & Nawazuddin Siddiqui - 46 Years
Yup, the two were born in the same year. While Nawaz does look like he is in his early forties, it looks like Hrithik has somehow managed to stop ageing after his 35th birthday. Just goes on to show why you should take proper care of your body.
3. Sunny Deol & Alok
We agree, we did not see this coming. Sunny Deol, definitely does not look 63, even today. As for Alok Nath, well we, like many other people think that the man hit his 60s when he was in his 30s.
4. Farhan Akhtar & Ram Kapoor - 46 Years
Ever since Ram Kapoor worked himself to the bone, and got into shape, he does look considerably young. However, turn the clock back a few years, and it would be realy difficult for anyone to believe that he and Farhan Akhtar were of the same age.
5. Gajraj Rao & R Madhavan - 49 Years
Gajraj Rao & R Madhavan are another example of why it is imperative to regularly hit the gym form the right age, and put an effort into how one looks. While Gajraj Rao, does look like someone who is almost in his 50s, R Madhavan, does not look a day older than 40, that too on days, when he decides to step out in a very rugged and carefree manner.
