Priyanka Chopra is touted as one of the most experimental actress in the industry and has delivered some very strong performances during the course of her Bollywood career. She has held her own in an industry where 40+ actors rule the roost, belting out hits like 'Fashion' which she carried on her merit without any male leads.

In a recent interview with Zoom TV she said it is not a surprise that the Bollywood is male-dominated. "India is male dominated, not just the industry since that is our culture. People like watching movies with boys taking revenge!"

While she believes that the position of the female is being accentuated in every field and they are getting tremendous amount of power but men are still in greater demand by the audience today.

Dispelling the myth that an actress' career is over after marriage, Priyanka argued that the shelf life of an actress is individualistic. If the audience likes you, they will watch you irrespective as "age is nothing but a number," she said. She cited the examples of Aishwariya, Kajol and Juhi Chawla, who according to her are "trending moms" who are still doing films and topping polls as the audience wants more of their talent.

I think Priyanka will achieve what indian actress hasn't achieve before. She played multi roles in one movies and now she's going to be an international singer...I can't wait to hear her full album. I heard she's working with the best of the best

Actually Kajol can still comeback and give hits, it's just that she's family oriented. Even for My Name is Khan, Karan had to do a lot of talking with her and he worked her schedule by shooting the movie when her daughter was on summer break. He even shot the movie not a lot of hours and made sure she doesn't go that far away from home

But all the top actresses today have the help of a big director and a big actor. Actually now it makes sense of why the male are dominating...I love the actors but sometimes I wish to see more movies like Fashion Or Page 3 where the female is telling the story

true but some have a decent role in the film & bring audiences in with their glam look or hip moves.

something kajol cant do she only has her acting capability working for her which hardly matters now

since Katrina era 😉
