Celebrating Woman’s Day: 6 Actresses That Defy The Stereotype That Married Actresses Can’t Be Popular

The biggest stereotype that lies in Bollywood is that an actress’s career is over when she gets married or she’ll only be given ‘mommy’ roles. In the olden times, a lot of film stars hid their relationship and marital statuses because they lost their fame and popularity owing to the fact that audiences didn’t want to see married women acting and dancing on screen. The actresses in our list have showcased that they can juggle their career with a family life. All hail, the new age woman!

Madhuri Dixit

After marrying a doctor and settling in Denver, Madhuri moved husband, kids and baggage and settled in Mumbai to make a comeback in hindi cinema. She came back with Aaja Nachle which wasn’t really a runaway hit. She was recently seen in Dedh Ishqiya and Gulaab Gang and she’s also a judge on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Well, we’re just happy we didn’t lose that million dollar smile to the US.

Sridevi

Sridevi is the only actress to make a super successful comeback after a 15-year-long hiatus with a film that was a box-office hit and garnered critical acclaim as well. English Vinglish was one of the best films of her career and we have a feeling that she’s going to get better as she ages.

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena recently joined the married actresses bandwagon when she tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan. After her marriage, she acted in Talaash, Satyagraha, Gori Tere Pyaar hain, Singham Returns and she’s currently wrapped upBajrangi Bhaijaanand is committed to star in Udta Punjab. Phew, we think this Khan is just getting started.

Kajol

Kajol at the peak of her success decided to marry the love of her life Ajay Devgn and take a sabbatical. She came back with a bang opposite Aamir Khan in Fanaa and then made us cry in My Name is Khan opposite SRK. She’s also worked in We are Family and Toonpur Ka Superhero which fared okay at the box-office. 2014 saw a leaner and a more fashion conscious Kajol; a personal favourite, I would love to see Kajol act till eternity.

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan has always been one to break the stereotypes whether it had to do with her weight or her bold film roles. She married UTV CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur in 2012 and she hasn’t slowed down a bit and has done films like Bobby Jasoos, Shaadi Ke Side Effects and Ghanchakkar. The film that we are most looking forward to is Hamari Adhuri Kahani, that releases this year.

Aishwarya Bachchan

Aishwarya became the Bachchan bahu in 2007 and became a mom to Aaradhya in 2011. After her nuptials, Aishwarya acted in Jodha-Akbar, Guzaarish, Pink Panther 2, Sarkar Raj, Raavan, Robot, Action Replay and gained nation/worldwide fame for her roles. Following her pregnancy she was on a sabbatical but has resumed filming in 2015 after 5 long years. She’s soon going to be seen in Jazbaa, a thriller by Sanjay Gupta.
