Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore reveals actresses lately
have a better chance unlike earlier times in the film industry.
"During our times it was nothing better than a good
cry. We had to all look helpless... so, I think these people (heroines today)
are having much more fun...," Sharmila told when questioned if she sees
any difference between the actresses then and now.
Sharmila, 72, told that the life of a heroine during her
time was not exciting.
"Heroines (then) couldn't be bad, so Helen had all the
fun... heroine's life wasn't all that exciting... today's heroines have the
much better chance," she further added The "Amar Prem" actress tells
maintaining a continuity than was difficult.
"Also, we were working in three or four films at a
time. So, maintaining a continuity was difficult because today Aamir Khan can
put on and lose weight... we couldn't do all that," she told.
Speaking about the movies she likes the most out of those
she starred in, Sharmila told, "I like 'Safar' and 'Mausam'. People really
like 'Amar Prem' and 'Aradhana'. The shelf life of these films is still
there... but my favourite is 'Safar' and 'Mausam'."
About her favourite co-star, she told, “I liked Shashi
(Kapoor) very much. He's a friend. Of course, with Rajesh Khannaji I gave
several hits and Dharmendra.”
Sharmila, who made her Bollywood debut in 1959, on Tuesday
was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the PhD Chamber of Commerce
and Industry at the Siri Fort Auditorium.
