Are you angry at these guys for neglecting their old co stars such Juhi , Madhuri or Kajol.

For example Salman is mostly working with actress that have an age under 30 and since Juhi gained age , she was never seen with Aamir. Subsequently was neither Madhuri seen with SRK or Karishma. Makes me sad.

The have a big hand on which actress will join their movies and who their co actress is gonna be , but they are choosing Katrina etc.

This has been the trend always in bollywood. Actors continue to act opposite the new stars till they are old and pruny while the actresses don't last much longer past 30's. Dharmendra, Amitabh, Dilip, Raj Kapoor to Anil, Sanjay, Sunny and then these Khans.

Add Ajay, Akshay and Saif to the list too. Bollywood is definitely very ageist when it comes to women. As the men grow older they go for younger and younger women. To me it seems that they are insecure about themselves. It is as if, if people see them with women 20 years younger they will think he is as young as them. But how long can they pretend?

Not angry with them. That is a purely professional decision. They would want their films to do well and casting a popular heroine would increase their chances of success.

If anything, I'd be "angry" at the audience for not being very receptive of "old" actresses.

Till they have white hair. ;)

You are right. Amir, Salman and SRK aside, all other actors of that time are acting with these young heroines.

They'll milk it till they can, like Rishi Kapoor.

Agree but audience also does not support the old actress too. So its not only fault of big actor but public also. They want to see young actress who can show more skin and provide more glamour than former actress.

To be honest,Madhuri,Kajol,Juhi have been successful heroines in Bollywood and they got married by their own choice during the peak.I think now they do realize that if they would have got married a bit later in the career,they would survive for a long time.Whatever it is,I am angry at those heroines who comer back with a film and a role that doesn't suit their age like Karishma Kapoor and Preity Zinta.

Can't be angry at individual actors, but definitely at the stupid trend of Indian films where the role of an actress is typically that of a damsel in distress or a glam doll. And the moment they cross 30 they are replaced by a newer breed. There are very few films in India that portray middle aged women as leads or with substantial roles. In Hollywood the case is entirely different. We watched Kate Winslet, for instance, in Titanic in the role of a teenager and we watched her a decade later in Revolutionary Road or The Reader as a middle aged woman and she's still going strong. I think the larger blame rests upon Indian society that views women as sex objects and eye-candies and has this mentality that woman becomes a domestic cattle after getting married.

But yeah, Salman Khan needs to retire for good and Shahrukh needs to do roles that suit his age, like that of Chakde India etc.
