If a woman like Deepika dates man, she's been bashed and talked about wrongly. But if a man like Imran, Ranbir and others date, it's okay and being praise. A man like Akshay had so many affairs but it's looked as cool while if an actress does the same, it's being looked as trash

Men like SRK, Saif, Aamir and akshay is getting the lead roles and they are 40+

The womans that reached 35+ is getting less offers and more of a mom role

Do you think it's some negative for women in bollywood and men don't have to deal with those same negative?

For sure. Esp for women actresses. I hate how actresses who are 30+ or who get married are just written off. Where as actors can be as old as they want and give flop after flop and still be one of bollywoods leading actors.

I wonder when things will change for these actresses.

Just look at the hollywood actresses, A bunch of the actresses are married with children and still so popular, Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie , Jessica Alba to name a couple.

Exactly swati. Actually most of the great actresses in hollywood are women over 30, married with children. But in bollywood it seems like only man do that.

and the funny thing is, there's a lot of females putting the women actors down too.

The media call them names, but they never acknowledge the girls that the actors had affairs with.. (not that I've noticed, anyways.)

Its always women doing wrong because we are supposed to be "good," but the men can do whatever they want.

And if a guy and girl broke up, it's the woman's fault in bollywood for example when kareena-shahid broke up, they were blaming only kareena for it.

Exactly. Shahid can't do no wrong and even if he did make a mistake, it was Kareena's job to figure it out for him! That's what I understand when people talk.

Gosh do you guys not know? Women are the source of all evil. And obviously after 30 their acting skills are dead. I can just imagine the day Ranbir-Deepika break up (if they break up), we will have hoards of female fans going off about how bhola-bhala Ranbir got doped by the evil evil deepika. Just like poor Shahid got used by Kareena, who for some reason just happened to be more popular than him. But those are minute facts, she is a woman thereby evil.

women can start off in Bollywood when they are 16-17...men cannot....😆 so its only fair that they can go on till after 40 while the women retire early!😉

also we the audiences love the women young and men old...so why complain??😛
