Marriage @ 60+

The recent news about the marriage of 60 year old Indian actress Suhasini Mulay with 65 year old physicist Atul Gurtu has not only challenged the stereotypes associated with old age in our society but has also highlighted that there is no age bar for seeking companionship. The interesting thing about their story is that they met via Facebook which is often considered as a favourite platform for social interaction among youngsters.

I wish them both a very happy married life ahead and I also hope that all those who want to marry at 60+ and seek companionship must ignore the stereotypes and take initiative to fulfill their dreams because we get only one life.
