And she's correct! She's in her FORTIES FFS!
The double standard in BW is disgusting!
We have AK, SK, SRK, Akshay, Ajay romancing girls that are half their ages (Deepika, Katrina, Anushka, Kareena) but then a 40 something old woman should play a mother to people about 10 years younger. This is just enraging. This why as much as I love Tabu and how great she was in Haider, she didn't suit playing a mother to a 34-year old Shahid.
If actresses like Madhuri, Raveena, and Tabu are expected to play the role of mothers to 20 and 30 something actors then hold the same standard for the aging Khans, Devgan, Akshay also. Make Salman (50 this year) play a father to Katrina. Make Shahrukh play a father to Deepika and make Amir play a father to Kareena. If these scenarios sound dumb for BW, then so are the scenarios where 40 something actresses are expected to be able to play mothers to people 10 years younger than them while the mainstream actors are romancing actresses 20 years younger and playing college students.
