Hema Malini rues lack of good opportunities for female actors, says ‘Mr Amitabh Bachchan gets such great roles even now’ – Times of India

In an interview with Mid-Day, the veteran actor revealed, “Where are the opportunities today? Even today, author-backed roles are not found for actresses; they are reserved for male actors. Mr Amitabh Bachchan gets such great roles even now, they are written specially for him. But such special roles have not been written for actresses till today.”

The actor further said, “If someone can write a tailor-made role keeping me in mind, it would be nice. I think I too am capable of performing well.”
Recently, the diva opened up on female actors choosing to continue working after marriage and told ANI, “I will not react to this much because I never stopped, I got married and continued working non-stop. So perhaps people saw me and are following me. It’s nice, the husband should understand that the woman whom he married, she is a very talented person and people love to watch her.”

She also added, “But the wife has to sacrifice a little, being a wife. She cannot immediately produce a child, then you know there is a stop. So if you are at that age and you are ready to work then why not. If the producers are ready to sign you for such a huge amount and all then great.”
