Arc lights off.
Makeup cleared. Back home and on
bed. Then catches
up the restlessness,
physical desires and
yearning to share
the feelings with
someone. The Bollywood
sirens have beauty,
heart and all
desires and feelings
that a common
lady has. Money and glamour
does not douse
off all these. And frustration
mounts after an
age.
Many
have gone for
choosing aged family
men. Some have
preferred men several
years junior to
their age. So no
eyebrows raised when
the leading actress
Bipasha Basu announced
to tie know
with Karan Grover,
3 years her
junior. But Bipasha like a
selected few is
fortunate to have a
bachelor as hubby or
most of them
have opted for
men double their
age, married and having
grown up children.
The
trend started with
the heartthrob Hema
Malini, one of
the prettiest faces
on celluloid. Her glamour
and suces attracted
many bachelors, from
film to cricket world. But
she announced her
engagement to her
co star in
many hit films
Dharmendra, well past
her age and
also married with
grown up children.
The announcement had
sparked a row as
it was rarely
heard of phenomenon,
except for Vaijyantimala ( another
actress who had
paid huge sums
to ex wife
of hubby for
divorce and finally marriage
with her). Both Dharmendra and
Hema later adopted
Islam to solemnise
the marriage. But she
was never accepted
by Dharmendra’s family and
lived separately, though
the couple later
bore two daughters.
Then
Shabana Azmi and
Sridevi also followed the suit.
Shabana went for a noted
lyricist Javed Akhtar,
another family man
and Sridevi for
Boney Kapoor. Both “ husbands” first
divorced their wives
to tie knot
with these ageing actresses. Then there
was a long
list of Bolywood
actresses chasing family
men. No wonder
these sirens came
to be dubbed
as family breakers
and earned ignominy
from society and
media.
In
recent years there
have been a few
fortunate actresses like
Kajol, Raveena Tandon and
Madhuri Dixit etc. to
have
bachelor husbands. Interestingly they
are said to
enjoying marital lives
much more than those
opting for married
men as hubbies.
Bollywood sources
put several reasons
for the whole scenario.
According to them
these actresses despite
having all feminine
feelings put them aside
for sake of money and glamour.
A sense of
insecurity creeps up
when their demand
keeps going down.
And this financial insecurity
coerces them to go for
a male companion
irrespective of his
age and marital
status. Some fortunate ones
get, while some
are left as
maidens. Asha Parekh
is an example
who still is
a maiden. Parveen
Bobby died as
a maiden.
The
whole glamour, money
and fame are
to show to
the world. From inside
these sirens too yearn
for something in
life. Loneliness have
also pushed some
to booze, while
a few have
resorted to suicide too. But
this is glamour
world and to
gain something these
actresses are losing
something.
