    Aamir to Omar, & the widowed mom or divorced dad... how Indians are breaking age-cap on relationships

    Last month, J&K CM Omar Abdullah, 56, announced his marriage to journalist Nidhi Razdan. The announcement follows more such examples: actor Amir Khan, 61, marrying girlfriend Gauri Spratt earlier this year, BJP leader Pinaki Misra, 67, marrying TMC MP Mahua Moitra last year, BJP’s Dilip Ghosh, 62, marrying Rinku Majumdar, also last year…India, for long age-conservative about relationships and marriage, appears to be finally recognising the need for companionship in one's later years.
