A query, albeit unrelated to the much-discussed thread: While one fully acknowledges Vikrant's prerogative to embark upon a well-deserved hiatus-an entirely personal and legitimate decision-one cannot help but muse on the timing of his proclamation. Was it truly imperative to unveil such an announcement at this juncture? Could it not have been judiciously deferred until his cinematic endeavor had run its commercial course? This is not to cast aspersions on the authenticity of his intent to take a break, but the coincidence of this revelation with the promotional cycle of his forthcoming projects seems conspicuously advantageous, almost as though it were a strategic confluence rather than a serendipitous alignment.
Hey anmol...Will you please make a video on " How amazing and versatile Urmila Matondkar was...And her amazing filmography, style statement, Dance and legendary acting...There should be a dedicated video on her
One thing that suprised me was that Kajol was one of the most popular/loved actresses in the 2000s but looking at her filmography, she only had 3 releases in the span of 2001-2009 and one of them was a home production. She was like Anushka and had said she wanted a family early on. If I'm not wrong, she may be one of the only actresses who was able to take a break and come back successfully. i find that more courageous than continuously working and getting scared of losing out projects (which is what i felt kareena was scared of)
Enough of bollywood celebrities quitting acting in their prime - can we just talk about why jammy is not posting more dance routines in his prime? dude why are you going for hrithik roshan route - we want our old anmol back.
As a woman, there's nothing wrong with choosing raising your children over any career, if you feel this is where your gifts are best spent and that's what you want to do. There's also nothing wrong with taking a break and going back to work once kids go to school. It's only wrong if you do it because you feel forced to do so, and/or your husband doesn't appreciate your input into society (whether raising kids or working), and/or he wants you to quit something you're passionate about to be his personal servant. As long as it's your choice and you're happy with it, it's all good.
It’s quite ironic that these so-called “liberators” demand women to perform for their amusement, be it through dance or acting. Yet, when these women choose to step away from the spotlight to focus on their families or pursue their faith, these so-called "woke" advocates suddenly become distressed. They cry out, "No, no! Women must juggle both motherhood and their roles as entertainers for our pleasure." This reveals a shocking level of selfishness and hypocrisy. These individuals push a narrative that objectifies women under the guise of empowerment, while ignoring the harsh realities that many women face in balancing personal lives with such demanding careers. It’s a thinly veiled propaganda that dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries during the Industrial Revolution, when industries desperately needed more workers. Back then, the narrative was spun to convince women that they could find freedom in the workforce instead of being nurtured at home as queens, supported by their husbands. The truth is, this relentless push for women to conform to an unrealistic dual role is nothing short of exploitative. It’s time to recognize that true freedom allows women to choose their paths, whether that means focusing on religion or devoting themselves to their families. The agenda to objectify women as mere entertainers is not liberation; it’s a betrayal of the very principles of respect and choice that the feminist movement claims to champion.
Asin 's first passion was never movies. She always loved business and even got an award for the young entrepreneur... something like that. She did modeling just like a hobbie and by chance got into movies. . That is why when things felt right, she married a businessman. She is very much involved in his work and doing something she likes.
she has completely isolated herself from any type of screen presence she hardly has any podcast or interview, not coming to bollywood events or parties or award functions and rarely posts on her instagram or other socials (compared to others like genelia or ayesha takia who are quite active on social media or attend functions sometimes) it feels like ages since i last saw her
Burn out is real, tbh. He is very much entitled to take a break, but the sad thing is perhaps his stardom may not be as great as it is today. The audience, the industry is truly fickle. I do hope he gets the same love when he comes back.
Asin quitting at peak, still unbelievable as she had all traits of pan India star. Even Thalapathy Vijay, he's literally critics proof. Would have loved a Leo 2
Amitabh took a sabbatical in the 90s to recalibrate his life and career. He went to London.. and whenever anyone would recognize him there, he'd leave the place asap. By the time he came back, industry had changed completely.. He faced dark times with ABCL and the failing films... of course, history would be made in the year 2000 when he came back with KBC and Mohabbatein... but we are talking about Amitabh Bachchan here.. not everyone who takes the gamble of a break, gets the desired returns..

I am pretty sure it's something to do with the Libturds attacking him for his latest movie. Saw Sucharita and Arfa's tweet. They are so desperate for attention. Gosh.
I heard the same about Kajol. She chose to get married right after 1998 when she gave hits like Pyar kiya to darna kya and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and barely did films. K3G was a huge hit but after that she decided leave the industry maybe permanently. That made her lose out on projects like Mohabattein, Veer Zara, Chalte Chalte, Gadar, KANK, all which she rejected mainly bc of her marriage or baby. She was gone for 5 years but she came back strong with Fanaa. A lot of actresses do "comeback films" but most aren't that successful. But I think most women do want to take the maternity leave when they have a baby and that makes them ahrd to come back.
Trivia about Asin: 22 films out of 25 were hits 😢 Definitely not the nostalgia whining about her Asin was such a talented actress... She was a huge star in south 2003-2008 👑 The plus point about her was she used to dub her films unlike her contemporaries... Then she forayed to bollywood Sticked to commercial format delivered hits mostly then took retirement in 2013 only just for the sake of a 25th film she did a film with Abhishek (2015) and never came back😢 Asin was offered Barfi (both the roles) aparichit, bachana ae haseeno, delhi 6, singham, wanted, lootera, Karthik calling karthik, de Dana dan, welcome back, raabata 🥲 She was a choice for Chennai express, raone, 2 states opposite srk😢 She refused many Mohit Suri films which were hits that's why mukesh bhatt badmouthed her openly 😑
Asin created a wave and no doubt she ruled the south industry . But Is she a good actress no. Did she succeed in Bollywood ? No . She didn’t get much opportunity it was all commercial movies but her acting was very bad in those. She could have gone back to south may be .
It’s not egoistical for a person to take a break for their mental, physical or emotional health. I understand the next statement that it is a fallacy to expect to retain same position in the film industry after few years gap. But health is everything, rest comes after it. We only have one body in the end, nothing can replace it.
@@lizmol-san fully agree! I think Amitabh was simply talking about this aspect of going on a break and expecting to come back to the same place and be welcomed with open arms as egotistical, as thinking yourself so big even missing a couple of years won't shake you - and we know he was speaking from own bitter experience. So absolutely, health should come first. But also you have to realise decisions come with consequences (and it's still ok, because it's better to be happy than successful).
Glory jobs and normal jobs are different beasts. Glory jobs : everyone is trying to get in. Be it actors/models/journalists/cricketers etc. You take a break and everything is gone.
i have great admiration for vikrant massey for quitting while hes ahead. its obvious he made a substantial amount as a tv actor and he is comfortable enough
For me the most justified and worth break out was of "SRIDEVI'S" from 1997(Judai) till 2012, untill she bangs her comeback with the iconic masterpieces like English vinglish (2012) and MOM (2016)
5:26 Nutan is also a few actresses who, after marriage, worked till her death, giving hits in the 50s 60s and 70s and character roles in the 80s until her death 1991
Kareena is not actually an ideal example for this topic. She was able to maintain multiple roles due to her equation with the industry people Let me give you an example. This is a story which Kareena shared with Taran Adarsh in his show When Amir offered Kareena Talash, she was already signed for dharma movie with Imran khan and Salman’s bodyguard. Kareena decided that she wants to do all 3 movies. So her Secretary went to Karan Johar and Salman’s brother in law Atul. He requested both of them to postpone the movie shooting for a month or two. Due to her status in the industry and good equation with both, Karan and atul gladly gave her a two months time period. So she finished talash comfortably and then started doing the other two films as promised So long story short, she always benefited from her equation with big producers. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. She’s also a very sharp woman. But using her as an example in the video is unfair imo
Yes correct. But the reason why her name is mentioned in the video is different. She did not take a break post her kids is what is being emphasized. She was not married when she did Talash and Bodyguard.
@ you took my comment too literally. It was an example. My point is that the big producers worked around her schedule and made accommodations for her. I’m sure she’s getting the same treatment post motherhood. That’s why she didn’t have to take a break. Other female actors don’t have that luxury
Leo sequel would never happen and he will never appear in LCU if thalapathy vijay never comes back to act again. I'll be back with more disturbing facts.
I am glad that Anushka Sharma has quit Bollywood. She was not a versatile actor in the first place, always playing the outspoken, bubbly girl next door type roles. Apart from NH10 and Sultan (to some extent), her acting career was not very impressive.
Hey! Just wanted to say that this new way of posting listicles is really great. Building so much context before the video starts and then relating every person in the list to the context established is way more engaging than just listing out top 10 actors who left acting at their prime.
Asin left because she was on the path of being irrelevant Sure she had a glorious run in tamil and a fantastic debut in bollywood but she pretty much fizzled out by the mid 2010s. She had lost a lot of goodwill with the tamil people due to her Sri Lanka visit and bollywood didn't exactly warm upto her. Her only saving grace was Ghajini which was a remake of her successful film. She realized the best way to go about it to ties the knot with a rich guy.
The 2000s was really a brilliant year for Bollywood even underrated actresses like Asin, Ayesha, Sushmita and so many more it truly captures how much of a talent they had its sad they quitted films so early
SRK and PRABHAS really defined all odds by disappearing for 4-5years and coming with a banger it was very tough for srk but also for prabhas cause he had a industry hit with mirchi and just vanished 😂 these two aren't scared of shit
niqqa literally forgot Madhuri Dixit. She quit films at the surreal peak of her career. a peak many actress would despise off. she decided to get married and have kids, even left our country.
The dumb us dont realize that someone like Vikrant is also a working person (acting is also a job) and kudos to him that he can take sabbatical , we all can just think about such stuffs and we cannot since its not financially feasible for us So burnt out is true , we all face it , but we live with it coz we cannot financially afford it , BUT HE can and he did
(1:00) He never said "long break". It's clearly written in his post that the 2 movies will be his "last 2 movies". And now he's saying that his words were "misinterpreted". I'm a fan of his acting since Balika Vadu and i don't wanna sound like a hater but this clearly looks like a PR stunt, attention-seeking move. So weird. (2:30-4:03) okayyy...i agree
Your lack of reading comprehension skills does not make Vikrant an attention-seeker. He had clearly written these would be his last two movies till the time was deemed right. That indicates a break and not retirement. Maybe read the entire thing before writing rubbish on the internet next time.
I don't know if this woman comes in that list, she's Udita Goswami somewhere in mid 2000s was her career mostly with emaraan hashmi, anyway I suddenly remembered for this episode. She's DJ nowadays. My crush then ☺👉👈👉👈
8:40 Somehow, no one tells male actors how they handle their home life and work life. If I’m an interviewer, I do want to ask that question and do an elaborate statistical analysis.
They earned enough just in a few years to survive for their whole life without going daily to do 9-5 jobs all their lives so there is no need to exaggerate things about their quitting or taking break by people. They had more luxurious life than all of us. People worry to much about an actor or actress careers then their own careers 🙇
While Mr. Bachchan is right about position afterwords not being the same. Calling it 'egoistic' is being dismissive of others' circumstances. SRK, Amir, Sridevi, Madhuri, etc. taking breaks are different. Everyone's circumstances and positions are different, therefore making 'taking a break' a Case-based Decision Making Process, dependent on individuals and their situation (as you explain). And sometimes, taking a break is what is exactly needed, I mean..... Ask Akshay Kumar
People who quit acting at the prime are the ones who... 1. Are satisfied with the money they have 2. Want an escape from stardom as its very anxiety inducing to an introvert 3. Who see acting as a job rather than a craft or art after some stardom Its ok to quit acting, but I agree with Amitabh ji. Once you quit, you can't expect your past stardom to give new projects in future
I love Vikrant. And he is absolutely allowed to do what he wants. I don’t think there is a need to make an announcement like this. You just don’t do a movie until you are ready. No need to make big deal out of these things. Then there will be a big deal when he does a movie because that will be his comeback movie.
I think that Imran quit movies, because no leading actress wanted to work with him. Katrina and Deepika refused to do Katti Batti with him, they demanded that he would be replaced (after working with him previously). When leading actresses don't want to work with you, it becomes really painful.
@@Indroniel why didn't they want to work with him? Just because he was boxoffice repellant, or was he difficult on set? (Frankly, I think both of these things more or less would just force one to quit. I don't think he was particularly at his peak at the time)
Suddenly and Madhuri did not quit when they were at their peak. In fact they had a good run being at the top for a long time. Then they decided to make their homes. Aisi by then other young actors cropped in and were making waves.
Asin is a quintessional Indian beauty and highly talented. Hope she will make a return one day. Been a fan since M.Kumaran S/O Mahalaksmi days. For me the only actress right now who has that aura, talent and natural beauty is Mrunal Thakur.
@ When asked about the reaction of the ruling authorities on that issue, he’s suddenly mum. It’s easy to say “Oh, he’s speaking the truth.” and “This is free speech.” and it’s anything but. The crux of the issue is that the situation wasn’t contained by those in power and there was a pogrom against Muslim communities that was used as a distraction to cover up the inadequacies of a sloppy establishment.
@@PokhrajRoy. The actual crux of the issue is that the riots happened due to provocation by Muslim community which had burnt innocent Hindus in a train. That is the only truth. All these pogroms stories etc are just fictional. It was a sequence of long provocation of Hindus with Ajmer rape case, Kashmiri Hindu genocide, kar sevaks firing etc. Looking at events in isolation is puerile
Strangely, this culture is prevalent even in the corporate sector. When woman takes a break to raise a family and much later re-applies for a job to gain a place back in the workforce, the HR doesn't bat an eyelid. Let a man take a break for six months due to circumstances or willingly, unless its on health grounds, the HR will interrogate him like a criminal!!
Bro you should explore more topics and style of content for videos, like talking about best cinematographies in the films, best action set pieces in the films or talking about random niche scenes.
Then it will be another watchmojo video, their best action scenes videos are a whole playlist on their own.. Another playlist is of how celebrities ruined their career in second or one small mistake
i think massey's "break" is a pr stunt. His vibes are weird, i like him as an actor but something has always been off about his off screen persona. edit: idt it's a break, he's hinting at a full blown retirement which further makes this feel like a stunt.
Yes she was just 26 and at peak when she left it all for Ajay. Her comeback was Fanaa but she did not do anything of much significance in all these years. She married and had kids too young. I mean she could have waited for few more years and made most of her peak post successful 1998 when she totally dominated with hits like KKHH, Dushman, Pyar toh Hona hi tha and Pyar kiya toh darna kya. All best actress nominees that year were hers from all her hits. But she junked it for marriage and mostly worked with Ajay in his home productions
Zaira Wasim was such a talented actress. She achieved accolades a kid at her age couldn't even dream off. National award, Massive International hits, oh man.
I just hope Vijay doesn’t end up as young Big B with switching his career choice by garnering his fame for stepping in politics.🖤 I do hope nothing bad for him but even if he succeeds, I would just love ti see some glimpses of him in movies now and then,
Amitabh entered politics for his friend Rajiv Gandhi.. it was an emotional decision. Of course, he quit within 2-3 years, when he realized it wasn't his cup of tea.
9:01 I don't agree with this either. Leaving everything you worked so hard for post marriage and kids. It's a personal decision but influence many women even today to under value financial independence. These opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.
SRK from Dear Zindagi: Mushkil rasta kyun lena hai, asaan raasta kyun nahi le sakte, khantor pe tab jab hum mushkil raste ke liye taiyaar hi nahi hain.
I'll just say it, take a break WITHOUT announcing it to the rest of the world. The only reason for celebs to make such announcements is their need and greed for attention and validation or publicity for their underperforming movies like Sabarmati. Sridevi, Tabu, Amrita Singh, Shah Rukh Khan, even Dilip Kumar, and others have all taken breaks and QUIETLY at that. It was fine. Vikrant announcing it is indicative of the fact that he thinks he's a bigger star than he actually is. He is a brilliant actor, no doubt, but a people's star he is NOT.
See thats what happen when you make headline everyone want to cover.. but when he make good movie no one want to talk about that.. that's how the reality works.. in your face..
Kareena is most entitled person of bollywood, she shot veere di wedding during her pregnancy, but actresses as popular as Aishwarya were Replaced from movies whilst being pregnant
When you are privileged you take a break and you put it on social media And now everyone is talking about vikrant People are working hard everywhere be it a superstar , cricketer,trader and everyone No 1 takes a break by putting on social media Vikrant could have just stayed away from limelight no1 stops working Vikrant is just trying to get noticed There lot of actors who aren't working at all but still are doing something No1 takes a break from work I heard an akshay kumar interview where he said kaam aa raha hai karte raho nd we still blame Akshay saying Thora kaam Kum kar People are sceptical and have something to say on everything and vikrant has just made people talk about him now He needed a break he could have taken it ..there are lot of actors around people will forget him if he says that I'm tired and stuff like that What Akshay has said is amazing kaam aa raha hai izzat karo aur karte raho .. Even Akshay takes breaks and works so much people are just trying to get noticed
My question is , if he s taking a break ? Then y is the need to announce it . He could have quietly taken a break n come back without the general population noticing . So there is some other reason maybe . Or PR stunt ? Or some other threats ? N also if one quits in their prime years there s also running the risk of not starting off from the same point where he left . Anyway if it was PR stunt , then yes he got all our attention
Giving this much attention to what's going on in actors and actresses' personal lives showcase the sheer joblessness of people on social media. Amongst all the glamour and glitz, everybody forgets that they are human beings too. Just allow them the right to their privacy and move on with your life!! P.s. I know why you made this video Jammy and there's valid points in it that people need to hear but this felt kind of unnecessary. Looking forward to your next video and also, 2025 has the most insane line up in many years!! So pumped for them!!🤩🔥
One reason for so many actresses quitting after a point could be the exhaustion of working in multiple movies across languages within a short span of time. While a major actor may do a movie or two, a ‘hit’ actress gets to act in 2-3 or more movies per language within an year. So an actress like Trisha might have acted in multiple movies in Telugu, Tamil and may be Malayalam within a single year. Considering the short life of acting, they too keep taking up more and more of movies to act in. It all ends up in a burnout like situation when they decide, “that’s it. I have done enough. Now it’s time to wrap up”.
I'm surprised.. You didn't include Sushant Singh Rajput in your list of five In the year 2016 he had MSD the untold story Even before that also he already started making his presence felt in other films too Really don't know why you left him.. Today when I think about it i feel sad Out of sight Out of mind But this theory should not apply to Sushant..
Quit politics if you want a successful acting career, in Vikrant 's case🤔. If it's a real break, let the man just sort out, and come back again is all we can say.
Hey Jammy, here's a thought.. can you make a complication of movies that had the best interval scenes which kept you groped to your seats waiting for the 2nd half eagerly?
Topic of discussion has gone for a toss because of this bloody thread 😂😂
you should thank god it was a thread otherwise 'log bohot baatein banaate'.
itti editing kebaad bhi it made it through to the video jammy bhai ye to saaf saaf planted that

Hear this out jammy, we want more dance vids

Very egoistic of Anmol😂
Exactly 😢

Fully agree.
Couldn't have worded it better myself, and I'm a social justice warrior :P
It shouldn’t be about women or man should be count same for man too. If they want to stay at home and take care it should be fine too
100% that’s why I also preface with each example, these are adults making adult decisions. Each to their own indeed
It’s quite ironic that these so-called “liberators” demand women to perform for their amusement, be it through dance or acting. Yet, when these women choose to step away from the spotlight to focus on their families or pursue their faith, these so-called "woke" advocates suddenly become distressed. They cry out, "No, no!

She was an entrepreneur ?
Yes
She's from kochi kerala
And I've heard that her father was a bussiness man
Her fam was well in being business in Kochi
Thats a little sad to know tbh. I always felt she uplifted the movies she appeared in.
She was very fond of. Movies and acting. Her father arranged that role by persuading director sathyan anthikkad in malayalam film.
she has completely isolated herself from any type of screen presence
she hardly has any podcast or interview, not coming to bollywood events or parties or award functions and rarely posts on her instagram or other socials (compared to others like genelia or ayesha takia who are quite active on social media or attend functions sometimes)
it feels like ages since i last saw her
Burn out is real, tbh. He is very much entitled to take a break, but the sad thing is perhaps his stardom may not be as great as it is today. The audience, the industry is truly fickle. I do hope he gets the same love when he comes back.
I just wish Parveen Babi had a solid support system and better mental health resources. She was truly a fashion icon and an entertainer.
Kajol quit at her prime after marrying Ajay Devgan!
You missed Preity zinta who was at her peak and had so many memorable hits but suddenly left probably to become full time entrepreneur
Yess
She left coz she became a coke head buddy.
wasn't that due to the underworld relations she had? or something like that?
Her movies were not performing well, one recent movie of her I remember watching is Bhaiyaji Superhit
@nezukochanfan9795 Yes you are right
Asin quitting at peak, still unbelievable as she had all traits of pan India star.
Even Thalapathy Vijay, he's literally critics proof. Would have loved a Leo 2
Maybe she was fed up of the industry trends like
Unequal pay
Casting couch offers etc.
Missionary Vijay saala
Amitabh took a sabbatical in the 90s to recalibrate his life and career. He went to London.. and whenever anyone would recognize him there, he'd leave the place asap. By the time he came back, industry had changed completely..
He faced dark times with ABCL and the failing films... of course, history would be made in the year 2000 when he came back with KBC and Mohabbatein... but we are talking about Amitabh Bachchan here.. not everyone who takes the gamble of a break, gets the desired returns..
Nothing wrong in taking a break or calling it quits.. every person is different.. priorities change from time to time.
Man my heart still breaks for Zaira Wasim. Miss seeing her on screen ever since Secret Superstar and the Sky is Pink.
Well she made that choice of quitting acting career when she was at the peak of her game. No need to feel bad for her..

@@fareedkhan4528👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
She chose that for herself she found her happy place, no need to feel sorry for her.
Shut up. Radical sympathiser@@fareedkhan4528
Hearing about Vikrant's retirement while he was working with Shanaya was something...
Please read his latest statement, he needs a long break not retiring
I am pretty sure it's something to do with the Libturds attacking him for his latest movie. Saw Sucharita and Arfa's tweet. They are so desperate for attention. Gosh.
I heard the same about Kajol. She chose to get married right after 1998 when she gave hits like Pyar kiya to darna kya and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and barely did films. K3G was a huge hit but after that she decided leave the industry maybe permanently. That made her lose out on projects like Mohabattein, Veer Zara, Chalte Chalte, Gadar, KANK, all which she rejected mainly bc of her marriage or baby. She was gone for 5 years but she came back strong with Fanaa. A lot of actresses do "comeback films" but most aren't that successful. But I think most women do want to take the maternity leave when they have a baby and that makes them ahrd to come back.
The Kapoor family is notorious for not letting the women in the family work. Even the girls born like Karishma didn’t get much support!
Trivia about Asin:
22 films out of 25 were hits 😢
Definitely not the nostalgia whining about her
Asin was such a talented actress...
She was a huge star in south 2003-2008 👑
The plus point about her was she used to dub her films unlike her contemporaries...
Then she forayed to bollywood
Sticked to commercial format delivered hits mostly then took retirement in 2013 only just for the sake of a 25th film she did a film with Abhishek (2015) and never came back😢
Asin was offered Barfi (both the roles)
aparichit, bachana ae haseeno, delhi 6, singham, wanted, lootera, Karthik calling karthik, de Dana dan, welcome back, raabata 🥲
She was a choice for Chennai express, raone, 2 states opposite srk😢
She refused many Mohit Suri films which were hits that's why mukesh bhatt badmouthed her openly 😑
Dude the video just dropped, when did you write this 🐸🔥

Asin created a wave and no doubt she ruled the south industry . But Is she a good actress no. Did she succeed in Bollywood ? No . She didn’t get much opportunity it was all commercial movies but her acting was very bad in those. She could have gone back to south may be .

It’s not egoistical for a person to take a break for their mental, physical or emotional health. I understand the next statement that it is a fallacy to expect to retain same position in the film industry after few years gap.
But health is everything, rest comes after it. We only have one body in the end, nothing can replace it.
@@lizmol-san fully agree! I think Amitabh was simply talking about this aspect of going on a break and expecting to come back to the same place and be welcomed with open arms as egotistical, as thinking yourself so big even missing a couple of years won't shake you - and we know he was speaking from own bitter experience. So absolutely, health should come first. But also you have to realise decisions come with consequences (and it's still ok, because it's better to be happy than successful).
Glory jobs and normal jobs are different beasts.
Glory jobs : everyone is trying to get in. Be it actors/models/journalists/cricketers etc. You take a break and everything is gone.
i have great admiration for vikrant massey for quitting while hes ahead. its obvious he made a substantial amount as a tv actor and he is comfortable enough
For me the most justified and worth break out was of "SRIDEVI'S" from 1997(Judai) till 2012, untill she bangs her comeback with the iconic masterpieces like English vinglish (2012) and MOM (2016)
bro forgot to include the critically acclaimed oscar winning movie - puli (tamil)
Mom came in 2017
Mental health should be taken seriously. Unless one wants to repeat what sushant did
After working with Shanaya vikrant decided to quit 😊😅
5:26 Nutan is also a few actresses who, after marriage, worked till her death, giving hits in the 50s 60s and 70s and character roles in the 80s until her death 1991
Kareena is not actually an ideal example for this topic. She was able to maintain multiple roles due to her equation with the industry people
Let me give you an example. This is a story which Kareena shared with Taran Adarsh in his show
When Amir offered Kareena Talash, she was already signed for dharma movie with Imran khan and Salman’s bodyguard.
Kareena decided that she wants to do all 3 movies. So her Secretary went to Karan Johar and Salman’s brother in law Atul. He requested both of them to postpone the movie shooting for a month or two. Due to her status in the industry and good equation with both, Karan and atul gladly gave her a two months time period. So she finished talash comfortably and then started doing the other two films as promised
So long story short, she always benefited from her equation with big producers. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. She’s also a very sharp woman. But using her as an example in the video is unfair imo
Yes correct. But the reason why her name is mentioned in the video is different. She did not take a break post her kids is what is being emphasized. She was not married when she did Talash and Bodyguard.
@ you took my comment too literally. It was an example. My point is that the big producers worked around her schedule and made accommodations for her. I’m sure she’s getting the same treatment post motherhood. That’s why she didn’t have to take a break. Other female actors don’t have that luxury
You forgot Madhuri Dixit.
Leo sequel would never happen and he will never appear in LCU if thalapathy vijay never comes back to act again. I'll be back with more disturbing facts.

I am glad that Anushka Sharma has quit Bollywood. She was not a versatile actor in the first place, always playing the outspoken, bubbly girl next door type roles. Apart from NH10 and Sultan (to some extent), her acting career was not very impressive.

Hey! Just wanted to say that this new way of posting listicles is really great. Building so much context before the video starts and then relating every person in the list to the context established is way more engaging than just listing out top 10 actors who left acting at their prime.
Asin left because she was on the path of being irrelevant Sure she had a glorious run in tamil and a fantastic debut in bollywood but she pretty much fizzled out by the mid 2010s. She had lost a lot of goodwill with the tamil people due to her Sri Lanka visit and bollywood didn't exactly warm upto her. Her only saving grace was Ghajini which was a remake of her successful film. She realized the best way to go about it to ties the knot with a rich guy.
micromax 😂
The 2000s was really a brilliant year for Bollywood even underrated actresses like Asin, Ayesha, Sushmita and so many more it truly captures how much of a talent they had its sad they quitted films so early
SRK and PRABHAS really defined all odds by disappearing for 4-5years and coming with a banger it was very tough for srk but also for prabhas cause he had a industry hit with mirchi and just vanished 😂 these two aren't scared of shit
niqqa literally forgot Madhuri Dixit. She quit films at the surreal peak of her career. a peak many actress would despise off. she decided to get married and have kids, even left our country.
The dumb us dont realize that someone like Vikrant is also a working person (acting is also a job)
and kudos to him that he can take sabbatical , we all can just think about such stuffs and we cannot since its not financially feasible for us
So burnt out is true , we all face it , but we live with it coz we cannot financially afford it , BUT HE can and he did
(1:00) He never said "long break". It's clearly written in his post that the 2 movies will be his "last 2 movies". And now he's saying that his words were "misinterpreted". I'm a fan of his acting since Balika Vadu and i don't wanna sound like a hater but this clearly looks like a PR stunt, attention-seeking move. So weird.
(2:30-4:03) okayyy...i agree
He has written recalibrate and go back home …….and until time deems right . !
Your lack of reading comprehension skills does not make Vikrant an attention-seeker. He had clearly written these would be his last two movies till the time was deemed right. That indicates a break and not retirement. Maybe read the entire thing before writing rubbish on the internet next time.
@@pratiksha5072 I'm giving my opinion.
I don't know if this woman comes in that list, she's Udita Goswami somewhere in mid 2000s was her career mostly with emaraan hashmi, anyway I suddenly remembered for this episode. She's DJ nowadays. My crush then ☺👉👈👉👈
8:40 Somehow, no one tells male actors how they handle their home life and work life. If I’m an interviewer, I do want to ask that question and do an elaborate statistical analysis.
They earned enough just in a few years to survive for their whole life without going daily to do 9-5 jobs all their lives so there is no need to exaggerate things about their quitting or taking break by people. They had more luxurious life than all of us.
People worry to much about an actor or actress careers then their own careers 🙇
I never skip your videos. I have an almost film analyst because of you.
While Mr. Bachchan is right about position afterwords not being the same. Calling it 'egoistic' is being dismissive of others' circumstances. SRK, Amir, Sridevi, Madhuri, etc. taking breaks are different. Everyone's circumstances and positions are different, therefore making 'taking a break' a Case-based Decision Making Process, dependent on individuals and their situation (as you explain). And sometimes, taking a break is what is exactly needed, I mean..... Ask Akshay Kumar
Yup
People who quit acting at the prime are the ones who...
1. Are satisfied with the money they have
2. Want an escape from stardom as its very anxiety inducing to an introvert
3. Who see acting as a job rather than a craft or art after some stardom
Its ok to quit acting, but I agree with Amitabh ji. Once you quit, you can't expect your past stardom to give new projects in future
I love Vikrant. And he is absolutely allowed to do what he wants. I don’t think there is a need to make an announcement like this. You just don’t do a movie until you are ready. No need to make big deal out of these things. Then there will be a big deal when he does a movie because that will be his comeback movie.
I think that Imran quit movies, because no leading actress wanted to work with him. Katrina and Deepika refused to do Katti Batti with him, they demanded that he would be replaced (after working with him previously). When leading actresses don't want to work with you, it becomes really painful.
@@Indroniel why didn't they want to work with him? Just because he was boxoffice repellant, or was he difficult on set? (Frankly, I think both of these things more or less would just force one to quit. I don't think he was particularly at his peak at the time)
Sharmila Tagore and not kareena was the OG married leading lady of the industry.
So were Shobhana Samarth and Devika Rani.
New controversy just dropped
Jammy :- ferb we know what are we going to do today 😂
Just kidding love your videos
Even Sridevi took a long break from 1997-2012 to take care of her family.
He also forgot Madhuri Dixit.
Suicide Singh Rajput also took a break in his prime 🫡
@@anikvy ban gaya cool?
Suddenly and Madhuri did not quit when they were at their peak. In fact they had a good run being at the top for a long time. Then they decided to make their homes. Aisi by then other young actors cropped in and were making waves.
She did that to keep boney kapoor away from his other kids
2:55 200 percent agree on Indians obsessing with working
Asin is a quintessional Indian beauty and highly talented. Hope she will make a return one day. Been a fan since M.Kumaran S/O Mahalaksmi days. For me the only actress right now who has that aura, talent and natural beauty is Mrunal Thakur.
Next Video suggestion : singers that now completely vanished
4:47 video starts from here...
There is no need to boast about it like kareena...it is a great thing for a woman to work in pregnancy and motherhood ...but her boasting is too much
‘Dirty tactics?’ Oh wait, I thought he already did that with the ‘Sabarmati Express’ promotions.
What was dirty?? Let me guess. Him saying the truth??
@ When asked about the reaction of the ruling authorities on that issue, he’s suddenly mum. It’s easy to say “Oh, he’s speaking the truth.” and “This is free speech.” and it’s anything but. The crux of the issue is that the situation wasn’t contained by those in power and there was a pogrom against Muslim communities that was used as a distraction to cover up the inadequacies of a sloppy establishment.
@@PokhrajRoy.i wonder what are your thoughts on kashmir files,when ruling party still calls it propaganda
@@deepakkumar-pb8dn ‘The Kashmir Files’ incited violence and empowered bigots. So…
@@PokhrajRoy. The actual crux of the issue is that the riots happened due to provocation by Muslim community which had burnt innocent Hindus in a train. That is the only truth. All these pogroms stories etc are just fictional. It was a sequence of long provocation of Hindus with Ajmer rape case, Kashmiri Hindu genocide, kar sevaks firing etc.
Looking at events in isolation is puerile
If asin was still acting she would have in the level of Deepika , Priyanka nd all
Strangely, this culture is prevalent even in the corporate sector. When woman takes a break to raise a family and much later re-applies for a job to gain a place back in the workforce, the HR doesn't bat an eyelid. Let a man take a break for six months due to circumstances or willingly, unless its on health grounds, the HR will interrogate him like a criminal!!
Bro you should explore more topics and style of content for videos, like talking about best cinematographies in the films, best action set pieces in the films or talking about random niche scenes.
Then it will be another watchmojo video, their best action scenes videos are a whole playlist on their own.. Another playlist is of how celebrities ruined their career in second or one small mistake
That's an excellent perspective on the topic-- really appreciate it! ♥💛
What about kajal agarwal, ig she deserves to be in this list
Just good looks. Average in acting skills. An eye candy. But I like her.
@@Dfghjdal Simp
@@DfghjdalAgreed.
i think massey's "break" is a pr stunt. His vibes are weird, i like him as an actor but something has always been off about his off screen persona. edit: idt it's a break, he's hinting at a full blown retirement which further makes this feel like a stunt.
Zaira Wassim is the most heartbreaking tale
He is not quitting.. might follow Kangana Ranaut root
Why no mention of kajol in this video.... she was truly in her prime when she left
Also what's with the red strand hanging on your cheek jammy😂
Yes she was just 26 and at peak when she left it all for Ajay. Her comeback was Fanaa but she did not do anything of much significance in all these years. She married and had kids too young. I mean she could have waited for few more years and made most of her peak post successful 1998 when she totally dominated with hits like KKHH, Dushman, Pyar toh Hona hi tha and Pyar kiya toh darna kya. All best actress nominees that year were hers from all her hits. But she junked it for marriage and mostly worked with Ajay in his home productions
Loved the last part of the video... everyone deserves a good break
Zaira Wasim was such a talented actress. She achieved accolades a kid at her age couldn't even dream off. National award, Massive International hits, oh man.
Still miss Asin! ❤
Raveena was talking about Akshay Kumar.😂
God Shahid was visibly shaken when he heard Amitabh saying that 😅
Sometimes its better if actors refrain from making political statements. And in Vikrants case he dint even have a clear stance.
After watching the video, when you say "Until next time!!", I thank you very much for clarifying in the end
F.I.R.E - Financial Independence, Retire Early 😅
Watching this and then shan parashars video where he obliterates Vikrant....we come from two Indian😅
I just hope Vijay doesn’t end up as young Big B with switching his career choice by garnering his fame for stepping in politics.🖤 I do hope nothing bad for him but even if he succeeds, I would just love ti see some glimpses of him in movies now and then,
Amitabh entered politics for his friend Rajiv Gandhi.. it was an emotional decision. Of course, he quit within 2-3 years, when he realized it wasn't his cup of tea.
Yes. Amitabh did ruin his peak by entering politics and regrets it till date
the mega star big B still working at the age of 82 and these so cold young generation taking retirement 🤷♂
9:01 I don't agree with this either. Leaving everything you worked so hard for post marriage and kids. It's a personal decision but influence many women even today to under value financial independence. These opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.
I wonder if Vikrant's decision has anything to do with working in a propaganda movie...
57 seconds?! Is it legal to be this early 😂
Even Amitabh took break for twice in his career one in 1986-87 and one more 1992-96. You should have mentioned his name also
SRK from Dear Zindagi: Mushkil rasta kyun lena hai, asaan raasta kyun nahi le sakte, khantor pe tab jab hum mushkil raste ke liye taiyaar hi nahi hain.
Best episode of TRF by a long shot!!
I'll just say it, take a break WITHOUT announcing it to the rest of the world. The only reason for celebs to make such announcements is their need and greed for attention and validation or publicity for their underperforming movies like Sabarmati. Sridevi, Tabu, Amrita Singh, Shah Rukh Khan, even Dilip Kumar, and others have all taken breaks and QUIETLY at that. It was fine. Vikrant announcing it is indicative of the fact that he thinks he's a bigger star than he actually is. He is a brilliant actor, no doubt, but a people's star he is NOT.
Madhuri Dixit is the prime example.
See thats what happen when you make headline everyone want to cover.. but when he make good movie no one want to talk about that.. that's how the reality works.. in your face..
Kareena is most entitled person of bollywood, she shot veere di wedding during her pregnancy, but actresses as popular as Aishwarya were Replaced from movies whilst being pregnant
When you are privileged you take a break and you put it on social media
And now everyone is talking about vikrant
People are working hard everywhere be it a superstar , cricketer,trader and everyone
No 1 takes a break by putting on social media
Vikrant could have just stayed away from limelight no1 stops working
Vikrant is just trying to get noticed
There lot of actors who aren't working at all but still are doing something
No1 takes a break from work
I heard an akshay kumar interview where he said kaam aa raha hai karte raho nd we still blame Akshay saying Thora kaam Kum kar
People are sceptical and have something to say on everything and vikrant has just made people talk about him now
He needed a break he could have taken it ..there are lot of actors around people will forget him if he says that I'm tired and stuff like that
What Akshay has said is amazing kaam aa raha hai izzat karo aur karte raho ..
Even Akshay takes breaks and works so much people are just trying to get noticed
Vidamuyarchi (Ajith kumar) teaser review can we expect?
Until someome is forcing someone to quit and they want help, there is no point in discussing this topic
My question is , if he s taking a break ? Then y is the need to announce it . He could have quietly taken a break n come back without the general population noticing . So there is some other reason maybe . Or PR stunt ? Or some other threats ? N also if one quits in their prime years there s also running the risk of not starting off from the same point where he left . Anyway if it was PR stunt , then yes he got all our attention
Made enough money, retire and enjoy , way to live life 🙌, will also open up job opportunities for those who need it
PR stunt from Vikrant massey for his upcoming venture "Zero se restart"
Giving this much attention to what's going on in actors and actresses' personal lives showcase the sheer joblessness of people on social media. Amongst all the glamour and glitz, everybody forgets that they are human beings too. Just allow them the right to their privacy and move on with your life!!
P.s. I know why you made this video Jammy and there's valid points in it that people need to hear but this felt kind of unnecessary. Looking forward to your next video and also, 2025 has the most insane line up in many years!! So pumped for them!!🤩🔥
One reason for so many actresses quitting after a point could be the exhaustion of working in multiple movies across languages within a short span of time. While a major actor may do a movie or two, a ‘hit’ actress gets to act in 2-3 or more movies per language within an year. So an actress like Trisha might have acted in multiple movies in Telugu, Tamil and may be Malayalam within a single year. Considering the short life of acting, they too keep taking up more and more of movies to act in. It all ends up in a burnout like situation when they decide, “that’s it. I have done enough. Now it’s time to wrap up”.
Asin is still many people favourite she has Aura ❤
I'm surprised..
You didn't include Sushant Singh Rajput in your list of five
In the year 2016 he had MSD the untold story
Even before that also he already started making his presence felt in other films too
Really don't know why you left him..
Today when I think about it i feel sad
Out of sight
Out of mind
But this theory should not apply to Sushant..
Good Dear Vikrant , Dont come back.
My fav line (I think, was by Kapil Dev) is "I'd rather when people ask 'why now?', than when they ask 'why not?'
Also "You Either Die a Hero, or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain"
I guess vikrant can't differentiate between sabbatical and retirement
Quit politics if you want a successful acting career, in Vikrant 's case🤔. If it's a real break, let the man just sort out, and come back again is all we can say.
Movies m sabse zyda poltics hota h khud kabir khan ne bola tha
Hey Jammy, here's a thought.. can you make a complication of movies that had the best interval scenes which kept you groped to your seats waiting for the 2nd half eagerly?
