Every other day there is a topic in the forum about how Kareena or Vidya's career is over after marriage and 30+ age and whether they will bounce back. And most of the times audience is blamed for being unsupportive & unwelcoming( for actresses like Aishwarya,Karishma etc). But do many ppl know here that yesteryear actresses Nutan,Sharmila Tagore,Moushumi Chatterjee have given their best after marriage and even after kids! General public didn't reject them. So why it is so different nowadays? I did some research when I my mom told me about Nutan,Sharmila etc. This is what I found-
She was introduced to movies in 1967, with the Bengali movie "Balika Badhu". She started to act in movies after her marriage, which was quite unique for females at that time.Moushumi Chatterjee made her film debut in 1972 with the hit film "Anuraag" and immediately secured her place in Bollywood.
She was on the top of her career in the 70's and early 80's, when she used to star opposite heroes as Amitabh Bachchan, Jitendra, Dharmendra etc.In her peak years, she starred opposite leading stars like Vinod Khanna in "Kachche Dhaage" and Amitabh in "Roti,Kapada Aur Makaan", "Benaam" and "Manzil".
She received Filmfare nominations as Best Actress for "Anuraag" (1972) where she played a blind girl, and as Best Supporting Actress for "Roti Kapda Aur Makaan" (1974), where she played a rape survivor.
In the late 80's and 90's, eschewing glamorous parts for good scripts.
Nutan
