Television actor and Marathi star, Sneha Wagh doesn't mince her words. Currently starring in a rather unconventional love story, Na Umra Ki Seema Ho, Sneha Wagh plays an obsessive lover. With a career spanning across a decade and more and some varied roles to her credit, Sneha has had an interesting career in both Hindi and Marathi television, while she was reeling with some personal setbacks.
The show revolves around a mature love story brewing between an older man and a younger woman. We have had regressive and atypical shows on television that have been widely accepted, but there is a part of the audience that finds it hard to accept such storytelling.
Sneha Wagh, who's risen above bitter marital experiences talks about the age gap in relationships and also her view on marriage, "It is true that men mature much later than women and women mature a bit younger. But if you see our history and our culture, we used to get our girls married to older men for a very long time. It's nothing new to us. I mean there has always been an age difference, between a woman and a man to be very honest, I don't know why there is so much of a conversation about it right now, maybe because we are adapting to and are getting influenced by western culture but in our Indian culture it is a very common practice. If you go back in time and see, our own Dadis and Nanis. they always got married pretty young to much older guys... I think it is very common for us, why is there even a dialogue about it, I don't understand. It worked for them, It has worked for generations."
Optimistically open to the idea of marriage, Sneha adds, "Marriage never really depends on age in today's world, women can get married to whoever they want to, with their choice, whoever they love and whoever they want to spend their life with. So I think the point to be stressed here is that marriage is something about who you want to spend your life with and not the partner's age or the gap between the ages."
