I’m not even talking about women centric films, I mean longevity as a leading actress, which has changed completely today, and a big chunk of that credit goes to Kareena. The first one to keep starring as a proper leading lady for the longest time. It shifted how producers and directors looked at Bollywood heroines.

Bhansali wanted her to play the older, “ugly” wife, but she insisted on Mastani. Sure, she lost out on a good role, but in the long run she ended up achieving something way bigger.

Hard disagree. It all changed with the new era of plex films, urban audience getting more importance, different stories being written which did not have to cater to the typical mass audience. The only actor who gets credit for that change is Aamir.

Actors like Kareena, Vidya, etc kept working and benefited . Kajol's comeback was hyped with Fanaa but she took a break. If PC had stayed back, she would have continued too. Its sad that Rani, Kajol took sabbaticals and let their prime careers fade. It's crazy how Tabu gets relevant roles today but the likes of Madhuri, Juhi, Karishma don't.
