Jyothika to Bhumika- South female celebs who quit acting after marriage

The world of movies is quite glamorous. And there was a time when an actress’ career ended when she got married. Now that things have changed, female performers no longer view marriage or having children as a barrier to their professions. Today’s actresses embrace marriage and parenthood while still maintaining a successful streak in their film careers.

However, several actresses quit their jobs after getting married. They simply decided to go that route for themselves. However, this does not imply that everything was lost; while some devoted their time to their families, only a small number recovered and found themselves a new niche. Let’s take a peek at some female celebrities who gave up acting after finding married bliss.

Asin

One of the most well-known actresses in both South and Bollywood was Asin. She appeared in hit films like Ghajini, Shivamani, Amma Nanna I Tamil Ammayi, Dasavathram, and others. In 2016, the actress gave up performing and wed Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma. Asin, a girl who was born on October 24, 2017, is her name. After getting married, Asin quit acting.

Namrata Shirodkar

As a former Miss India and well-known actress in South and Bollywood, Namrata Shirodkar held many titles and was at the top of her game professionally.

Jyothika

At the height of her professional success, Jyothika fell in love with Suriya while filming Kaakha Kaakha.

After her marriage and the birth of her two children, Jyothika completely left the film industry.

All of her acting-based films that were released after her marriage received positive reviews from viewers.

Genelia D’Souza

One of the most popular actresses in South and Bollywood was Genelia D’Souza. She has gained popularity both in the Hindi and South film industries, largely as a result of her endearing personality and well-regarded work.
