Janhvi Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra Trolled For 'Visible Age Gap' In Pardesiya From 'Param Sundari'

The teaser of the upcoming film Param Sundari, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, had generated a lot of excitement among fans, especially for the song, Pardesiya. Crooned by Sonu Nigam and Krishnakali, people were reminded of the magic of A.R. Rahman's tunes in the '90s. However, the music has been created by the composer duo, Sachin-Jigar. As the full music video of Pardesiya was recently released, people have been indulging in the melodious audio-visual treat. But the pairing of Janhvi and Sidharth has not been receiving the same love. 

Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra's pairing in Param Sundari trolled for their age gap 

Janhvi Kapoor shares a 12-year age gap with her 40-year-old co-star, Sidharth Malhotra, in Param Sundari. After getting glimpses of their characters in the teaser and music video of Pardesiya, people have found the on-screen couple lacking in chemistry. Many X users believe the pairing doesn't look good in the song due to the age gap between the two. One netizen made a scathing tweet against their pairing and stated that Saiyaara became a huge success because people want to see young couples on screen. Talking about Janhvi and Sidharth's age gap, the X user wrote:

"The chemistries just don’t hit these days. The 12 years of age gap between them is so damn visible man. I guess thats one of the main reasons why Saiyaara did so well, people are starving to see  actual young people on screen again."

Another netizen talked about wanting to see a same-aged couple and wrote, "I don't think it's necessarily 'Young' people. I think the audience just wants to see believable dynamics. Like, a same-aged couple! Everyone is fed up with this ridiculous fantasy Bollywood has been selling for decades. The audience has moved on & Bollywood needs to catch up". Another commentator on Janhvi and Sidharth's chemistry said, "I noticed this too. But it's not the age gap. It's the chemistry. They don't have it, can't feel it". 

People love the melody of the Pardesiya song from Param Sundari

After years of remix, music lovers rejoice at the fact that new and fresh songs are again taking over the Hindi film industry. Although fans are disappointed by the lack of chemistry between Janhvi and Sidharth, the return of Sonu Nigam's baritone in the song has been highly welcomed. Along with being a musical treat, the music video also serves beautiful visuals of Kerala's backwaters. 

Many netizens have compared the song to A.R. Rahman's magnum opus song, Yeh Haseen Vadiyan from the film Roja. One netizen wrote in YouTube comments, "Feels like Sonu Nigam's version of 'yeh haseen wadiyan'. His voice is blessing to ears". Another commentor said, "First Saiyaara album ,Metro in dino album and now this .2025 is truly the comeback of the classic bollywood." A lot of netizens also heaped praises on music composer, Sachin and Jigar for crafting a fresh and magical song.
