Bollywood’s comeback heroines

Bollywood’s comeback heroines

The Hindi film industry has had a very unfortunate tradition. Many actresses have made it to the top as heroines before gradually fading away into the sunset. Their power goes away a little too soon, the obvious reason being that while an actor is in his late 30s is a cool dude, the heroine is seen as somebody who is well past her retirement age by that time. How much has this situation changed? Hardly, although the encouraging factor is multiplex cinema has transformed the scenario to some extent. The actresses, in other words, have more scope for making a comeback although in a limited sense of the term.
