Since then, by her own admission, Kapadia has been a “rebel without a cause” too. Back in 1973, she let go of a flourishing career after the success of her debut movie Bobby, only to be Mrs Rajesh Khanna. And, after a failed marriage, she rebelled against the stereotype of married actors being less attractive and returned to movies after a 13-year gap. Talking about her comeback in an interview with Rediff, she had said, “It is not the audience who rejects us; it is the people in the industry who believe that once you are married you are not desirable to the audience. I think I proved them wrong.” Dimple Kapadia didn’t stop there. Even as years went by, she made sure not to move away from the silver screen, as most of her contemporaries did. Instead, she focused on picking up roles which do not showcase an older woman as ‘bechari’. That was also because she “didn’t like to play ‘haye main dukhyari (oh I’m so sad)’ type roles.” She flouted societal norms of older women being ...

Talking about the changing attitude of the audience, Dimple Kapadia said: “I think while these themes have always been present in cinema, it seems that audiences are becoming more accepting of them and seeking out content that pushes the boundaries. It’s important to recognise that cinema is a reflection of society, and that society itself is becoming more accepting of these themes.” “We cannot ignore the fact that there is a growing appetite for content that explores darker and more taboo subjects. As artists, it’s our job to navigate this landscape with care and sensitivity, while still pushing the boundaries and exploring new grounds," she said."Ultimately, it’s up to the audience to decide what they want to watch, and as artistes, our job is to create content that resonates with them.”
