As female performers become older, there are fewer and fewer suitable roles available, according to Actor Bhumika Chawla. She claimed that actors had a set lifespan. In Bollywood, Bhumika Chawla rose to fame in 2003 thanks to the smash hit Tere Naam, which Satish Kaushik directed. Salman Khan’s sad love story served as the actor’s Hindi film debut. With the Telugu film Yuvakudu in 2000, she had already made her acting debut.
However, Bhumika’s subsequent Hindi ventures did not have the same level of success as her earlier ones. She continued to work in the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam cinema industries in the south. The actor recently revealed that ageism still exists against female performers and that as they age, they are less likely to win decent jobs.
Bhumika and her Tere Naam co-star Salman have reconnected in the movie Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Pooja Hegde, not her, is the actor opposite him. In the family comedy, Bhumika plays the part of Pooja’s sister-in-law. On April 21, the day before Eid, Farhad Samji’s film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was released. The Hindi movie, which is a loose adaptation of the 2014 Tamil film Veeram, made 10.17 crore net on its opening day, bringing its total revenue to 78.34 crore net.
Actor Bhumika Chawla:
Bhumika said to Siddharth Kannan, “Unfortunately, actresses have a shelf life. I’m not sure why, but it seems that makers are unable to see them in that light. With the arrival of Netflix and Amazon web series, mature actresses can now find decent work in prominent roles in content-driven films and television shows. However, the structure still exists in commercial mass media today. Hero continues to play the hero, and the female protagonist has regressed.”
She continued, “The industry will have to lead the transition. That cannot be done by the audience. The audience will accept a change if we make it. How will people accept it if we don’t modify it?”
Bhumika’s most recent appearance was in the dual-role thriller Kannai Nambathey in Tamil. She made an appearance in the Hindi movie Operation Romeo in 2022, which also starred Sidhant Gupta and Vedika Pinto. The actor also appeared in supporting roles in the Telugu films Sita Ramam and Butterfly.
