Introduction
Nothing succeeds like “success”.
Also, nothing inspires like “success”- Quotes Eminent Bollywood Business Astrologer & Strategist, Hirav Shah.
Success in Bollywood is often measured by how “bankable” someone is.
And, it’s a largely-held notion in our country that married actresses are not “bankable.”
But thankfully, things are gradually changing now. And so are the mindsets, with due passage of time.These days, marriage does not mark an end to an actress’ glorious innings at the box-office rather it’s just a small hiatus.
Below are 5 married actresses, mentioned by Hirav Shah, who are the epitome of charisma and starry aura and are desirable as well and “bankable” as well and “successful” as well and that too, post “marriage”.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is rightly called the boss lady in the Entertainment industry. Her dialogues such as “main apni favourite hoon” and “tumhara koi haq nahi banta ki tum itni khubsoorat dikho. Not fair”, would have been on the lips of almost every Indian girl at least once in their lifetime.
There is no other like her, and there shall never be one.
