30 is the new 20 in Bollywood!

Age was always been a hurdle for commercial heroines and A-list actresses in Indian cinema. Banking on glamour quotients they would often find themselves losing out in the race.

It was an almost unwritten rule that as soon as a female star touched 30, she would either get married or resort to playing elder roles to the very heroes she romanced on screen till a few years ago.

Indeed Bollywood has come of age. No longer are actresses considered over the hill the moment they turn 25, instead, actress touching 40, are very much out there and rocking!
