Staying away from the glamour of the silver screen is not an easy task. Whether it is Bollywood or Tollywood, surviving in the film industry is always challenging, especially for actresses. Even today, people believe that getting married or having a child means the end of an actress’s career. Not only that, if an actress stays away from films or serials for a while, many assume her career is over. But today, we will tell you about a Bollywood actress who has stayed away from the big screen for several years, yet still managed to leave behind top Bollywood heroines in terms of wealth.
