“I Don’t see it as a problem”, says Avneet on her age gap with co-star Nawazuddin

Actress Avneet Kaur began her career at the age of eight with the reality show, Dance India Dance Li’l Masters, in 2010. After featuring in television shows such as Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga and Chandra Nandini, and doing cameo appearances in films, Qarib Singlle (2017) and Mardaani 2 (2019), she is presently preparing for Tiku Weds Sheru, her first film as a protagonist.

The movie, helmed by actor Kangana Ranaut, has been making noise for a 27-year age gap between its lead actors, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kaur.

“I don’t see the age-gap between a male and a female actor as a problem. It has happened in the past but the performances of the actors have been appreciated. In fact, a lot of such pairings have received positive feedback. Kangana ma’am has already said this was the requirement of the film and I agree with her,” she tells hindustantimes.com.

“It took me three to four years to get a film. Was I not popular at that time? I think I was. Even if you do get a project because of the number of followers you have, it all boils down to your talent eventually. I’ve waited to work on a film for so long now and I want to prove it to the audience that I’ve struggled really hard. I want to tell them that I deserve opportunities because of my talent,” Kaur ends.
