They won't be past their prime until they are 84...the oldest nominee at Oscars was 84 👏

One can always have a career in acting. Yes, without being a mother to the Khans. It depends on what they want and willing to live with.
Julia Roberts is a perfect example. She did one thing very well which was romcoms and had huge success, several 100 mil films, was called America's sweetheart, she even won the Oscar because she stepped out of the box. Then she got older, her movies did not have the same BO and she took time off to get married and have a family.

Men who are older than her like Cruise, Clooney and Depp are still having leading men careers. She could complain about expiry dates for actresses and sit at home or decide to still have an acting career. Which is what she chose to do and that is why she is doing films like ELP, Charlie Wilson and Osage County. These films are not ones that will give her big box office or red carpets. They don't have big budgets, don't run on many screens, but they show the actress and versatility part of her more than the romcoms which generated huge BOs ever did.

We could always say that kind of thing is not possible in India. But even when there was hardly any parallel cinema people like Shabana Azmi have managed to have long careers and even work in the holy grail Hollywood movies which so many Indian BO stars never have. We have a relatively large parallel cinema now, but we have hardly have big BO office actors act in them. If Bebo and Vidya follow the Julia Roberts model I am sure they can still be actors, question is will they want to or just be stars. For there is a big difference between the two.

I hate when this label is put on an actress "are they past their prime", what is a prime? Why does no one say that about older Bollywood actors?

Akshay is going through a bad phase, I don't see anyone saying he is over or "past his prime"

This whole prime thing is ridiculous. Look at Sridevi, she took a 15 year break, came back and delivered a successful movie. Anything is possible, we just need determined heroines and good scripts.

As for Vidya and Kareena, they can surely make a comeback if they play it right. The oldest winner at the Filmfare awards for best actress was Nutan at age 42! and that was so long ago, if it was possible then, its possible now.!
