Bollywood: A Male Dominated Industry?

Its interesting to note that even while listing the star cast of a film, the leading actor’s name tends to go before the actress’. Talented actresses like Sushmita Sen, Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zinta and many more are just not being offered films as more and more new faces join the industry. And once these new actresses establish themselves in a few movies will many roles be offered to them?


An established actor can give a few flops and still stay in the industry but when Madhuri or Rani gives a flop, that is not forgiven. An example being that many who had approached Rani for endorsements are now backing out due to the dismal outcome of her films this year. But Shahid, Shah Rukh, Akshay, Amitabh and almost every actor in the Indian film industry has gone through phases of flop movies but their star power remains the same. We have always questioned whether we are living in a male dominated society but is that reflection also being seen in Bollywood? Are actresses nothing but glamour dolls with no star power, which can be replaced by new faces again and again? Share your opinion with us….
