Earlier, it was said that when an actress gets married her career is over. However, we always discuss that how things are changing now and married actresses are still getting movies and they are successful.
But well, it’s not true that actresses nowadays are the only ones breaking the glass ceiling. There are so many yesteryear actresses who were at the peak of their career, got married, had kids, and were super successful.
So, today let’s look at the list of yesteryear actresses who proved that marriage was never a hurdle in their career…
Hema Malini
Hema Malini got married to Dharmendra in the year 1979. She was the dream girl of Bollywood and of course, was at the top of her game. But, even after getting married and having kids, Hema Malini played lead roles in many films including movies like Do Aur Do Paanch, Satte Pe Satta, Razia Sultan, and more.
Jaya Bachchan
Jaya Bachchan started her career in the year 1971 and after two years in 1973, she tied the knot with Amitabh Bachchan. Even after getting married, Jaya Bachchan played the role of a female lead in many films. She also continued to work after having kids.
Sharmila Tagore
Sharmila Tagore got married to Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi in 1969. In the same year, she gave one of the biggest hits of her career, Aradhana (it released before the wedding). But, the wedding didn’t stop her film starring in many other successful films like Safar, Chhoti Bahu, Amar Prem, Daag, and others.
Dimple Kapadia
Dimple Kapadia made her Bollywood debut in 1973 with the film Bobby. It was a super hit at the box office and she became a star overnight. However, she got married to Rajesh Khanna and became a mother. After getting married and having kids, Dimple made her comeback after nine years, and well, then there was no looking back for her.
Shabana Azmi
Shabana Azmi is undoubtedly one of the best actresses we have in the industry. In the year 1984, Shabana Azmi got married to Javed Akhtar but that didn’t affect her career at all. She starred in some amazing movies after getting married as well, and till now, she surprises us with her performance when she comes on the big screen.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
