Bollywood Actresses Who Quit Films For Motherhood

Bollywood actresses who achieve super stardom are rare, so when these actresses leave it all, it makes you wonder why? Many top Bollywood actresses like Aishwarya Rai gave up films and projects, to cater to her child and opted for motherhood over films.

She was at the top right from the time she debuted in the industry, she ruled the industry for a very longtime and is still continuing to rule but the actress gave it all up for motherhood. In fact there are many actresses in the industry who have quit Bollywood and chose motherhood over films. Sridevi, was one of the highest paid actresses of her time who quit the industry and got married to Boney Kapoor but the reason for her leaving films was because she was pregnant with her first child Jhanvi. And after enjoying motherhood for all these years she made a comeback to Bollywood with English Vinglish, the actress proved with this movie that she is still the best and had she not quit films for her children she would have been still ruling the industry.

Another actress who comes to my mind right now is Madhuri Dixit, she got married and settled abroad but whenever she was making an appearance in the movies she would be flying down but the moment she welcomed her first child into this world, the actress took a long hiatus from the industry in order to look after her children and cater to their needs. The latest actress who is joining this bandwagon is Genelia D'Souza who is now married to Riteish Deshmukh and very soon she'll be welcoming her first child into this world.
