“Sonakshi Sinha opens up about being judged in Bollywood, sparking speculation about an old rejection rumour involving Ranbir Kapoor.”
December 19, 2024: Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha has reignited an old rumour, indirectly confirming that she was once rejected for a film due to her perceived “older” appearance. Netizens are now speculating that the actor in question might be none other than Ranbir Kapoor.
Ranbir Kapoor, known for his top-notch performances and effortless on-screen chemistry with co-stars, has often been the preferred choice for romantic dramas. From Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani with Deepika Padukone to Brahmastra with Alia Bhatt, Kapoor’s partnerships have been lauded by fans and critics alike. However, one pairing that never materialized was between Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha, allegedly due to concerns about their age compatibility.

In a recent interview with Zoom, Sonakshi reflected on her experiences with Bollywood’s double standards. She revealed, “An actor refused to work with me because he felt I looked older than him.” Without naming names, she added, “I consider myself lucky that I didn’t have to work with someone who thinks like that. I’m 5-6 years younger than him!” Interestingly, Ranbir Kapoor is five years older than Sonakshi, fueling speculation among fans.
Netizens Connect the Dots
Years ago, rumors surfaced that Ranbir Kapoor had declined a romantic comedy film with Sonakshi due to the “age factor.” At the time, neither party addressed the matter, leaving fans to speculate. Now, with Sonakshi’s candid remarks, many believe she has indirectly confirmed the long-standing rumour.
