Gone are the days when marriage marked the end of a heroine’s film career. Today, the Indian film industry—from Tollywood to Bollywood—is witnessing a refreshing shift. Married actresses are not only continuing their careers but are also commanding top roles and hefty paychecks, proving their unmatched star power.
Leading the trend is Nayanthara, whose demand has skyrocketed post-marriage. She now charges over ₹10 crore per film and is currently working on a big-budget project with Megastar Chiranjeevi directed by Anil Ravipudi. Similarly, Kajal Aggarwal is regaining her stronghold with consistent opportunities, and Samantha is rebuilding her career with powerful roles even after her divorce.
In Bollywood too, actresses like Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Deepika Padukone remain in top form post-wedding. With actresses like Kiara Advani dazzling in teasers like War 2, the industry is embracing a positive shift. Married heroines now rule the screen with confidence and charisma, setting a new standard in Indian cinema.
