Bollywood Actresses Who Got Married At The Peak Leaving Their Successful Career Aside

Marriage and motherhood have always been the talking point in regards to a woman’s career. However, there are many A-list actresses in Bollywood who took a chance by opting marital bliss when they were reigning the tinsel town. They preferred their personal lives over their career and for many, this didn't put a full stop to their careers. 

Let’s get to see the actresses-par-excellence, who didn’t give a second thought and chose the family 

#1. Bhagyashree: It is sad that the highly-skilled actress, Bhagyashree didn’t take her career drive seriously. The beautiful face broke many hearts when she disappeared from the glamour industry. After her huge blockbuster Maine Pyar Kiya, she strangely got married at an early age of 19. The young actress no doubt garnered a lot of fame for her acting prowess, but she chose to settle down with actor-turned-producer husband, Himalaya Dasani. In fact, in an interview, she revealed that she sacrificed her career for the person she loved the most.

#2. Madhuri Dixit: Madhuri’s screen life hardly needs a mention. But still, we would like to count on movies like Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Tezaab, Khalnaayak and Dil To Pagal Hai that has made her the diva she is. Call her the empress or the reigning beauty of Bollywood, Madhuri had happily put an end to her booming career post marriage and motherhood. The biggest diva of the era, however, made a striking comeback in Aaja Nachle. She also won accolades for her performance in Dedh Ishqiya, but the movies didn’t prove to be that huge a hit.

#3. Twinkle Khanna: Though she has never made it to an A-list, the lady has never failed to impress the audience either. Paired opposite stars like Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar, she has delivered a few cool and romantic hits. But soon the actress stopped trying her luck after her last movie Love Ke Liye Saala Kuch Bhi Karega and got married to her fellow actor Akshay Kumar in 2001. We hope if she was still there to spread some magic. Today, she is a successful interior decorator and is enjoying her married life with two kids.

#4. Farah Naaz: Soon after the fans started having Naaz on her, Farah got lost in the crowd of forgotten actresses. After delivering hits like Imaandaar, Faasle and Naqaab, Farah disappeared from the silver screen. We last saw her in the movie Hulchul in a supporting role. She got married to Vindu Dara Singh when she was just 22 and compromised her career.

#5. Saira Bano: The yesteryear siren, Saira Bano was happily climbing the ladder of stardom and success when she sealed her acting career by marrying Bollywood's superstar, Dilip Kumar. She has proved her mettle in Bollywood with some big-scale movies like Padosan, Junglee and Jhuk Gaya Aasmaan. However, all the talent went futile when she tied the knot at the ripe age of 22 after a fairytale romance with the ‘tragedy king’.

#6. Neetu Singh: Starring since her childhood and one of the top actresses of her time, Neetu Singh was happy to hang her sandals. Today her life revolves around her family and two kids. After doing some twenty movies as a lead actress, she retired at an early age which definitely created a lot of buzz. The lady who also scored a Filmfare nomination dated Rishi Kapoor and got married when she was just 21. Post-marriage she hardly took up roles, and it is said that quitting the film industry was her personal choice. She has recently been a part of movies like Love Aaj Kal, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Do Dooni Chaar, Besharam.
