Popular Pakistani actress, Bushra Ansari recently shared the Indian celeb couple, Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar's age gap video and questioned society's double standards.
Bushra Bashir is a popular name in Pakistani showbiz. She stepped into the acting field at a very young age in the 1960s. Since then, the renowned actress has worked in some of the hit Pakistani dramas, such as Udaari, Bay Dardi, Zebaish, Tere Bin, Deewar-e-Shab, and many more. Apart from her professional front, Bushra Bashir's personal life also came under the limelight recently. After getting divorced from her first husband, Iqbal Ansari in 2014, Bushra once again got married to Iqbal Hussain in 2023.
However, the Pakistani actress is older than her husband and this became an issue in Eastern society. Bushra was called out for marrying Iqbal Hussain at the age of 66, although the age gap between the couple is not known yet. But the actress did not back out from fighting such backward thinking of the society. Recently, she reshared Instant Bollywood’s video featuring the Indian actor, Milind Soman with his wife, Ankita Konwar. The video highlighted the 26-year age difference between the two and has garnered 5.5 million views. Sharing the video on her IG feed, the Pakistani actress wrote:
“It’s nothing new.. So it’s ok for a man to!! Hay na ?? Hahahaha.”

The video of Milind and Ankita was from Bollywood Hungama’s Style Icon Awards 2024. For the event, the Bollywood actor opted for an all-black look, comprising a two-piece bandhgala suit, and shoes, and completed his overall with his quintessential gelled hair. Ankita, on the other hand, looked pretty in a monochromatic midi skirt and waistcoat. For those who don’t know, Milind married Ankita in April 2018 and they celebrated their six years of marriage this year.

Wishing you a happy life.” A third netizen penned, “Mam you did nothing wrong, no need to justify.”
