Several actors have paved the way for future actors and the industry through their actions, deeds, and film choices over the years. While many actors today go about their business and return to film sets weeks or days after getting married, this wasn't always the case.
We've seen Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and Priyanka Chopra tie the knot and resume their careers in the last few years. Many actors, on the other hand, have taken a break from acting after their wedding and then returned with a bang. Take a look at the following list:
RANI MUKHERJEE
Rani Mukerji has given her fans some memorable performances, but she took a break from acting after marrying Aditya Chopra in a private ceremony in Italy in 2014. Rani's blockbuster hit Mardaani was released that year, and she welcomed her daughter Adira in December 2015. She then put her entire focus on her family and only returned in 2018 with Hichki.
MADHURI DIXIT
When she married her husband, Dr. Sriram Nene, and moved to the United States in 1999, the 'Dhak Dhak' girl took a step back from the spotlight. Despite being in the United States, Madhuri continued to work on films in the traditional sense. The actress, however, took a break after the birth of her first child in 2003 and then again in 2005. Only in 2007 did she make a triumphant comeback with Aaja Nachle.
SHILPA SHETTY
Shilpa Shetty is a businesswoman, actress, mother, yoga diva, and wife in today's world. Shilpa Shetty gradually won hearts with her performances and film choices when she first started out in the early 1990s. She took a break from the spotlight after marrying Raj Kundra in 2009. Despite the fact that Shilpa's fans missed her, she continued to build a successful career on several other fronts. With Hungama 2 in 2021, she made her official comeback.
SRIDEVI
Sridevi, India's first female superstar, deservedly earned the title. She married producer Boney Kapoor in 1996 and gave birth to her first child, Janhvi Kapoor, in 1997. Sridevi took a long break after that, devoting her time to raising her daughters Janhvi and Khushi. The actress only came back once in 2004, and she spent the rest of her time with her family. Her big comeback in 2012 with English Vinglish and later Mom is still fresh in our minds.
KARISHMA KAPOOR
Karisma Kapoor, the reigning, uber cool and stylish actress of the 1990s, swayed an entire generation of moviegoers in her favour. In 2003, Karisma married businessman Sanjay Kapoor, and by 2004, she had retired from acting. In 2005, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Samaira. Karisma did not return to film until 2006, with a single release. Karisma has appeared in cameos, voiceovers, and served as a guest judge since then, until her digital debut in 2020 with Mentalhood.
AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is another well-known name in the history of female superstars. The actress married Abhishek Bachchan in a lavish wedding in 2007 and went on to give some impressive and strong performances until 2010. After giving birth to her daughter Aaradhya, the actress took a break and returned four years later with the box office flop Jazbaa.
