While Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal continues to dominate the box office and face criticism for its perceived misogyny, violence, and vulgarity, a new discussion point has emerged. The age gap between Ranbir Kapoor and Charu Shankar, who portrays his mother in the movie, has become a topic of debate among audiences.
Unveiling the Surprising Age Gap
Charu Shankar, who plays the role of Jyoti B Singh, the wife of Balbir R Singh (portrayed by a 66-year-old Anil Kapoor) and mother of Ranvijay “Vijay” Balbir Singh (played by a 41-year-old Ranbir Kapoor), is revealed to be only one year older than Ranbir Kapoor in real life.
Numbers Speak: IMDb Insights
According to IMDb, Charu was born on August 17, 1981, while Ranbir was born on September 28, 1982. In Animal, Charu, at the age of 42, convincingly takes on the role of a mother despite the narrow age difference with her on-screen son.
