It's often been said that one stereotype which various B-town actresses have faced in the industry is that after she gets married, her career is on its way for a short shelf life.

Kajol, who has continued to do some great films post her marriage also talks about the existing stereotype. The actress told a leading tabloid, "Women, female actors more so, need to be comfortable about the lives they choose. I wouldn't want to be 16 ever again. I am prettier, smarter and better at my skill. Yes, there is no denying that longevity of female actor is a lot lesser than their male counterparts. After marriage, priorities change. Socially and personally, I am entrusted with more responsibilities, so is my partner. In this country, marrying the man is not enough. You marry an entire family. My attitude to life changed after marriage. I accepted it and went ahead with everything just the way I should have. Men have their own share of chaos to deal with in order to adjust. As far as careers are concerned, women have to look at it in a more balanced way. In India, with female actors, what changes is how people look at them. After marriage, she is less appealing because she is taken.

On the work front, Kajol is excited for her next release which is a Tamil movie, titled VIP 2. The film is directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth and stars Dhanush opposite Kajol.
