For instance, till a few decades back, actresses would quit their careers post marriage. Mainly because the audience could no longer accept them in lead roles. But, all of it is changing now. And actresses like Kareena and Anushka are a shining example of that. At the peak of her career, Anushka has so much to boast for in her kitty. And that's only going to multiply in the future.

Bound by love! @AnushkaSharma @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/VABUsQwqms

Their Marriage Has a Message For All of Us

So, there you have it. A power couple to say the least. And with the union of the two, they have turned into a brand for advertisers. But, it's not just about numbers and figures here. It's a move that defies age-old belief that marriage means the end of the world. Or a marriage is a step that comes when you are done flourishing in your career. A 'settling point,' beyond which only lies compromise. As far as these two are concerned, they have shattered the stereotype like a boss. With successful careers behind as well as ahead of them, they are sure to shine. So, here's wishing the newlyweds a happy and prosperous marriage and careers.
