Recently, Ranveer Singh grabbed headlines for sharing romantic scenes with 18-year-old Sara Arjun in the upcoming film Dhurandhar. Earlier, Madhavan faced trolling for acting opposite Fatima Sana Shaikh, while Salman Khan also drew flak for starring alongside Rashmika Mandanna. Amid this trend, Kareena Kapoor romancing a younger actor feels like a refreshing change.
