Kareena Kapoor says 'getting married was the biggest taboo' for female actors in Bollywood

Actor Kareena Kapoor recently opened up about ageism in Bollywood. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar India, the Udta Punjab actor said that earlier it was the biggest taboo for female actors in Bollywood to get married but now things have now taken a turn for the better. 

Kareena Kapoor was asked if Bollywood has taken a different approach towards ageism. Kapoor responded affirmatively, and said that one has to 'wear their age proudly.' The Jab We Met actor also added that marital status now has no impact on one's career. She also said that even filmmakers are taking chances and opening up opportunities to different people.

“I think so. You have to wear your age proudly. Today, women have become brave. For female actors, the biggest taboo was to get married... but now your marital status doesn't affect your career," said Kareena Kapoor. She added, "Filmmakers are now taking risks and willing to work on off-beat scripts and give different people a chance. In the end, it is all about feeling and looking confident.”
