Myth that married actresses don't get film roles

Myth That Married Actresses don't Get Film Roles, News About Madhuri Dixit. "Similarly, when this film was offered to me, I thought I will be comfortable with Begum Para."
It's true that Madhuri Dixit took a break from acting following her marriage in 1999, but the dancing star is back and how! Shesays it's a myth that married women don't get roles in the film industry.
"I think married women always got roles. Sharmilaji (Sharmila Tagore) worked after marriage, Meena Kumari also worked and Rakhi worked after marriage. These are just myths and not true all the time," Madhuri said.
"There are some heroines who took a sabbatical, but they themselves decided that they didn't want to work after marriage," added the mother of two sons - Arin and Raayan.
The actress came back to India in 2011, and she hasn't had to 'hunt' for work.
Rustic drama ‘Dedh Ishqiya’, directed by Abhishek Chaubey, will see her share the frame with Naseeruddin Shah. The actress has sort of stepped out of her comfort zone for her character as Begum Para in the film.
"It's different cinema," she agreed, but said: "I remember when I did ‘Mrityudand’, people were like, 'Why are you doing this movie?' But I wanted to do it. It's a strong character.
"Similarly, when this film was offered to me, I thought I will be comfortable with Begum Para."
‘Dedh Ishqiya’ releases on January 10, next year.
