Mammootty is 10 years older than his wife Sulfath Kutty
Mollywood's icon, Mammootty, continues to reign as an unmatched superstar. The actor's screen presence is a treat for his fans who continue to ship him wholeheartedly. While his work front keeps him in the limelight almost every time, his personal life remains quite low-key.
The actor married Sulfath Kutty in an arranged marriage in 1979. The duo has a 10-year age gap. They are blessed with a daughter named Surumi and a son, Dulquer Salmaan.
Nagarjuna Akkineni found love in 8-year younger Amala
Nagarjuna Akkineni ruled the screen with his handsome good looks and impressive performances. However, his on-screen romance seeped into his personal life when, in June 1992, he married actress Amala.
For the uninitiated, this marked his second marriage, following his divorce from his first wife, Lakshmi Daggubati. Nagarjuna and Amala are blessed with a son, Akhil Akkineni.
Chiranjeevi and Surekha's companionship despite 6-year age gap
Another power couple from the Telugu film industry, megastar Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha, make their fans believe in fairy tales once more. The duo who have been married for so many years now, still never fail to leave everyone gushing with their romance.
Well, Chiranjeevi married a 6-year younger Surekha in February 1980. She was the daughter of noted Telugu comedy actor Allu Ramalingaiah. They are blessed with a son, actor Ram Charan, as well as two daughters, Sushmitha and Sreeja.
Ajith Kumar fell in love with 8-year-younger Shalini on the sets of his film
Ajith Kumar and his wife Shalini's romance is indeed something straight out of a romantic novel. The duo met on the sets of the film Amarkalam in 1999, when the former accidentally cut her wrist while filming a scene. As he began caring for her immediately after, it led to their real-life romance blossoming as well.
The two of them tied the knot in April 2000. They share an 8-year age gap and are happily together with their two children, Anoushka and Advik.
