The heroines of the 90’s are batting furiously in the second innings, breaking the age barrier and hurting the old traditions too.

If we look at it, even at her peak, Manisha has been a part of films out of the league like ‘Dil Se’, ‘Bombay’, ‘Khamoshi’, ‘Agnisakshi’. But the then makers of many actresses like Sushmita, Sonali, Shilpa could not see beyond their beauty. For example, Sushmita now got a chance to showcase her inner artist in series like ‘Arya’ and ‘Tali’. When asked to Sushmita whether the makers took a lot of time to recognize her acting ability? She laughs and says, ‘This complaint should be made, but to whom should it be made?’ We may think that he/she or she or the entire industry did not give me that opportunity or did not recognize my acting ability, but the big thing is that I have been in the industry for 30 years and from then till now, I have achieved everything in life. Also done, my people have supported me.

Raveena Tandon reveals – I had to do 15-20 films to earn what the hero earned from one film.

Her image always remained ‘You are a beautiful fairy, you know where’. According to Sonali, ‘In our times, heroines were only of a certain age. After the arrival of multiplexes, roles started being written for different ages, whereas with the arrival of OTT, the boundaries were broken and everyone started getting a chance.

Shilpa Shetty, who recently got praise for her strong roles as a tough cop in the film ‘Sukhi’ and the series ‘Indian Police Force’, has also got very few strong roles in her first innings. Leaving aside a few films like ‘Phir Milenge’ and ‘Life in a Metro’, she sometimes kept stealing hearts with her style and sometimes kept looting UP-Bihar with her dance moves.

In fact, there have been many stereotypes in Bollywood, from heroines being limited to dancing and glamour, to packing up their career as soon as they turn 30-35, but because of OTT, they are now able to break these old stereotypes and showcase their talent.
