Kareena Kapoor claims that the biggest taboo for female actors is getting married

• Kareena Kapoor opened up about ageism in Bollywood.
• How marriage was once seen as the end of a female actor’s career.
• Kareena Kapoor married Saif Ali Khan, who was earlier married to actor Amrita Singh, in 2012.

Kareena Kapoor said ‘you have to wear your age proudly’, when questioned about ageism in Bollywood in a recent interview. The star claimed that in the past, getting married was the “greatest taboo” for female actors. She claimed that is now changing, though. The actor also discussed how, as a working mother, she takes decisions by declining offers when she does not want to leave her children alone.
In 2012, Kareena Kapoor wed Saif Ali Khan, who had previously been wed to star Amrita Singh. In 2016, Taimur Ali Khan was born into their family, and in 2021, Jehangir Ali Khan was born. Kareena recounted how, at one point, marriage was seen as the end of a female actor’s career in a recent interview.

When asked if ageism in Bollywood was finally changing, Kareena responded, “I think so,” to Harper’s Bazaar India. You must be proud of your age. Today’s women are more courageous. The biggest taboo for female actors was to get married, but nowadays, your marital status doesn’t matter for your job. Filmmakers are increasingly willing to take chances, work on unconventional scripts, and give new people a chance. It all comes down to having and projecting confidence in the end.

Kareena also discussed finding “work-life balance” while being a working mother. She declared, “I don’t think there is a formula or a secret to establishing work-life balance. Anything you choose to do or not do is entirely up to you. Because I don’t feel like leaving my kids alone or because I don’t want to be seen at an awards presentation, I want to be free to say no to the things that I don’t want to do. I want the option to pick because I prefer to relax at home with my hubby while watching a movie or sipping wine. One of the biggest adjustments I’ve personally undergone is that. I must make a decision.

In addition to numerous other movies, Kareena has been in 3 Idiots (2009), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), and Jab We Met (2007). She is currently working on her next project, The Crew. Rhea Kapoor supports the movie, which also stars Tabu and Kriti Sanon. Hansal Mehta’s forthcoming film is one of Kareena’s upcoming ventures. Sujoy Ghosh’s Devotion of Suspect X, starring Kareena and making her OTT debut, is also anticipated to release this year. It is an adaptation of Keigo Higashino’s same-titled novel, written in Japanese. In a Netflix project, Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat also star.
