Moving on to those actresses who decided to give up their throbbing careers because they got married or because they had children.

On the forefront of this brigade is Kajol.

After winning more than four Filmfare Awards, Kajol gave up her career for a long stretch a little before her daughter Nyasa was born.

It is also rumoured that hubby Ajay Devgn asked her not to work with Shah Rukh any more because their amazing on-screen chemistry was making him uncomfortable.

Either way, Kajol did give up her career, and made a comeback only in 2007 with Fanaa. Since then she has only worked with her husband, but was again seen opposite Shah Rukh in My Name is Khan. She was last seen in We Are Family. The bong-beauty has just delivered her second child, a baby boy.

The other superstar actress who gave up her career entirely was Madhuri Dixit.

Easily one of Bollywood's most loved and most popular actresses, Madhuri quit the industry as soon as she was pregnant.

Madhuri lived in near anonymity in Denver, USA for almost five years and then made a comeback with Aaja Nachle in 2007.
