The fact is that the older actresses are not working.. And the older actresses have been offered Shah movies like Kajol and Aish.. But the truth is that these actresses do not excite the filmmakers or the audience for whatever reason.. So why would any Khan, be it Shah, or anyone else ask a director to cast an actress that likely would not be received well with the audience.. It is the audience which first needs to prove that they are accepting of the older actresses

in the last decade so many times the actresses ..older ones like Madhuri, Rani, Preity Zinta, Sridevi, Juhi, Manisha...have tried to make a comeback...but I don't remember any movie other than EV being a hit...sab flop ho gayi ya fir mushkil se average hui...ab batao...kyon nahi dekhi audiences ne movie?? khud dekhenge nahi...aur blame actor ko karenge..😳

Actress mostly praised for their Physical beauty and youth and very less praise for their acting ... In movies always Hero fall for the most beautiful girl not with an ordinary looks girl... most of the time in movie actress was support factor to the male actor or glam dolls... That's why most of the today's heroine in plastic surgery etc
Its also about story and script ..if director shows mature cinema audience likes ..not audience fault fully ...

You are right!
Also, it has been a norm since forever that directors stopped casting actresses in lead roles when they got older. So the audience became used to it. It's not the audience's fault completely. If the industry becomes firm in showing actresses of all ages like they show actors of all ages, then the audience too will get used to this.


All the movies older actresses tried to make comeback in mostly didn't have any good hero or good story, good budget etc.

OT...He is absolutely right and the onus of older women not getting work lies on us the audience ...not the producer...and those who are saying that the Khans have a say in what actress they star opposite..yes they do...but they can't make the audience come and watch a movie...as simple as that...bash karna bahut aasaan hai stars ko...but abhi Madhuri aur Juhi ki movie lagi thee Gulabi gang...koi gaya dekhne?? baat karte hain...iss forum per the older actresses are called Aunties and what not...but ek actor ne sachhi baat bol dee toh he is a douche😳


Gulab gang was not a mainstream movie, which audience would be interested in watching. (A movie with a theme where audience expect a male lead and a female lead who face obstacles and eventually come together). Succesful films outside this narrative is only handful (Chak De, PK, EV, Danga etc).

Still, whenever we try to find reasons on why actresses are paid less, or why older actresses get less opportunities, these (non mainstream movies) are given as an example. A mainstream movie like Dilwale, with older actress Kajol did not make less money than HNY despite clash.

It is neither older actresses' (not all of them are sitting at home, purely out of their choice) nor audience's fault. Problem lies with mainstream movie makers.

If Salman did say that, he is being mean. Juhi is a harmless soul so what grudge does he have against her? Salman should be on maun vrat when related to women- he ends up reeking of misogyny

Well younger heroines because the men watching wish so. SRK's statement is fair.

Well! I think it's depend more on the audience and the producer who decides the main lead actress of the film. I guess more on the film maker/producer.

I don't think SRK would mind working with the older actresses (from 90s) as he has already worked with Kajol in MNIK and Dilwale recently. :D
So it's all depend on the producer, why blame the actor for this.

For a really intelligent guy SRK does seem to have a brain freeze every now & then...

This is totally escapist...He is disowning his own responsibility towards changing things...


BUT when the pujaris of proven douchebags call him names, I can't help but laugh at them...
SRK still does stage shows & tours with his colleagues such as Rani & Madhuri...He's the only one...
He has done a bit role as Juhi's husband in Bhootnath in 2010...He's also worked with Kajol...
Though he can do a lot more especially coz he has the gravitas to pull off a mature urban relationship movie that HW used to do so well in the 90s (Frankie & Johny anyone?)...
From the rest i have no hope particularly those douchebags who offer an actress (who's infinitely more talented & classy than him) his mother's role or the who openly calls a senior actress' role a small one as compared to the one who is younger than his daughter & who he'e believed to be sleeping with!!!


I would also ask those who are calling him names...How many of you saw Gulab Gang?
or Mom? or Chalk & duster?...
Let's not deflect responsibility...We as audience are also responsible along with the likes of SRK..
Another thing..Some of these actresses have also been very laidback about their career..I agree everyone need not look size zero but atleast try to stay fit...Look at Tabu...She's been killing it for decades..!!!

I think more than actors it is the audience who needs to be blamed..we are accusing him of lies when we ourselves cannot accept the truth n take the blame.Why wud dey not work wid older heroines..gimme one reason..unki kaun si zadti dushmani h..but they know movies having older actresses r not accepted well wid the mass. Why doesn't an ecxceptionally good movie like EV become BB..sab kuch tha fir bhi hit hi rhi na. Whereas a movie like Dhoom 3 becomes BB..kuch ai tha but Kamli tha.


Audience? I would like to see this national poll where the audience has decided that they only want to young actresses with old men. 😆 These are just lame excuses, you think people will stop watching Khan films if they worked with older women in commercial movies? Of course not. Dhoom 3 wasn't a BB because of Kamli? LOL well then why was Baar Baar Dekho a flop, which had Katrina + Kala Chashma? 😆

It's not the audience fault that old men are selecting young actress, they are discriminating against older actress, so the blame falls squarely on them. 😃
