Amitabh Bachchan and Jiah Khan
Ram Gopal Varma's idea of forbidden romance had its share of merits and flaws. But what stood out the most was the core aspect of Nishabd -- potent chemistry between a 60-something Big B and his unstoppable fascination with a flirtatious teenager, played by Jiah Khan.
While Varma's yarn was woven around the dramatic age difference, others like Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand had no qualms about playing older heroes to much younger debutantes like Hema Malini and Tina Munim in Sapnon Ka Saudagar and Des Pardes respectively.
