Why was it hidden?
Well the simple reason is that we live in a traditionalist male chauvinistic society...😊things are changing, but very slowly, if you ask me..
Even today a married actor still enjoys the same amount of fandom as he has before his marriage..
but, the same cannot be said of an actress...
A married actor is allowed to go on and continue acting whatever the role may be like...
However, married actresses are expected to retire from the industry and invest energy into other businesses (the latest trend seems to be fashion/home/jewellery designing)...if they want to continue in the industry they'd find the scope of roles offered to them quite limited!
However old, we are happy to accept a male lead (even romancing girls half his age) be it the Khans, the Dutts, the Devgans or the Kumars...
However, the public is just NOT able to accept an older (married or not) actress romancing... we don't want to appreciate the Meryl Streeps, Julia Roberts and the Sandra Bullocks here...unless they play artistic/motherly roles ofcourse...
Hence, the PH must have taken this decision...
And if you ask me...I don't think its the first Indian PH that must have taken such a decision...
