Zalak Desai(32) and Rahil Azam(43) playing parents of Shivam Khajuria(29) in Anupamaa

How ageist and sexist the industry is so open and loud? Zalak(in green) nowhere looks close to be mom of a man in late 20s. She even is looking like Adrija's(in orange) younger sister here. Parents casting me bhi weird agegap ab? This is screwed up in so many levels. (Also Rahil Azam my first ITV crush from hatim is too hot to play father yet, this is unacceptable😭)
