Bollywood Beckons Married Actresses (PHOTOS)

It seems that Bollywood is beckoning married actresses to make a comeback. Some of the heartthrobs of yesteryears will make a comeback this year.

Next month, actress Karisma Kapoor who married industrialist Sanjay Kapur on September 29, 2003, will be seen again in the silver-screen in an erotic film "Dangerous Ishq". The film, directed by Vikram Bhatt, is a female oriented one that would revolve around the character of the actress who is playing a model.

However, in a recent interview, the 37-year-old actress, who was last seen in the 2006 film "Mere Jeevan Saathi", refused to state that "Dangerous Ishq" is her comeback flick.

"You can't call joining your job a comeback. Similarly, I would like to consider myself as a professional and my job is acting. I had taken a sabbatical and now I am back to work," Trans World Features quoted Karisma as saying.

The promotion and propaganda of the upcoming film "Dangerous Ishq" is in a full swing and it will hit the theatre on May 11, 2012.

Other married Bollywood actresses who are bidding for a comeback this year include Madhuri Dixit Nene, Manisha Koirala, Sridevi, Raveena Tandon and Juhi Chawla.
