Bollywood is a huge industry across the world making hundreds of crores every year with some actors and actresses raking in big moolah. It has come a long way from the kind of cinema that it used to produce and the way it used to treat its actors and actresses. But there still remains a great divide in the way the silver screen treats its female folk. Actresses are treated differently, and are primarily known for their looks, rather than their performances.

Marriage : An important factor

There is no denying the fact that a lot of actresses themselves choose to hibernate after they get hitched, but even if they do plan to make a comeback, it's not as easy for them as it would have been for their male counterparts.

The new race to cast 'fresh faces'

he ratio of fresh faces being introduced in Bollywood is far more than the current crop of talented actresses. The Khans have been ruling Bollywood for over two decades but when it comes to actresses, sadly, they go 'out of fashion.' In fact, they are the ones promoting new faces and going out of the way to launch them.

We would love to see our favourite actresses prove that age is no bar. We look forward to seeing them with as much excitement as we have for a SRK or a Salman. Here's wishing that they get deserving opportunities based on their talent and not their age.
