Five Bollywood couples with over 10 years of age gap proving 'matters of heart are rarely governed by age'

Dimple was only 16 years old when she tied the knot with superstar Rajesh Khanna. He was 31 years old and the reigning heartthrob of the Hindi film industry at the time. It was in 1982 that they got separated, however, the couple never filed for a divorce. A few years after their separation, Rajesh once said, "You know what? I still love my wife, Dimple." 

The couple faced a lot of objections from the Dutt sisters when they got married in 2008. Their love story began after they were reportedly introduced to each other by producer Nitin Manmohan in 2006. The duo is going strong, especially after Manyata gave birth to twins in 2010. The 19-year age gap between Sanjay and Manyata, does not seem to affect their relationship at all.

This is not the first time where the 'Nawab of Bollywood' Saif Ali Khan has been in a relationship with someone with a huge age difference. He married Amrita Singh, who was 12 years older than him, and later, in 2012, Saif fell in love with Kareena Kapoor, on the sets of Tashan. Kareena is 11 years younger than Saif. The duo got married on October 16, 2012.

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput tied the knot on July 7, 2015. There is a 13-year age difference between the two. For the uninformed, the couple who is now parents to one son and a daughter met through their parents owing to their connection to the religious group, Radha Soami Satsang Beas, of which Shahid and his father Pankaj Kapur are devout followers. They got hitched in a private ceremony, where only a select few friends and family members were present. 

The 'tragedy king' of Hindi cinema, Dilip Kumar fell in love with Saira Banu and married her in 1966. The ace actor was 45 and she was just 22 at the time of their wedding. Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu's marriage has been going pretty strong and steady for the past 54 years.
