hollywood has a lot of options for 50+ actresses because of no dance. Movies like Piku had no dancing and still it is very popular. Bolly people need to make more movies without dance then many older actresses may have work.
also sometimes older actresses lose the drive and ambition for acting. that's one more reason why they don't get work in bolly movies very much because of their disinterest.
I wonder when recently I read an interview in which an older actress said: "I got plenty of offers but I no longer have the drive and ambition to act"... Mmm, how about "never".
Dance is not the problem here, either, and for classically trained dancers age is not a significant factor, anyway. No, ageist, sexist, judgmental, prejudiced audiences, mediocrity among the creatives, and lack of respect (and proper financial incentives) for the work of scriptwriters are the main reasons why BW churns out mostly shitty movies for the intellectually challenged.
