Married actresses have a special place...

Bollywood may not be kind to married actresses, but they sure have a special place in the ad world. Their marital status helps these heroines sell a host of goods, especially household products like soaps, biscuits and washing machines.

“Once married, Hindi film actresses stop being alluring and being part of the average Indian male’s dreams. People do not expect married actresses to run around trees. But they continue to enjoy a certain nostalgic relationship in the minds of the audience,” Sai Nagesh, chief growth officer of Dentsu Media India, told news agency.
