Age can be a major obstacle for professionals in the entertainment industry, and actress Faiza Hasan reveals the hidden insecurities of male actors over the age of 50, fearing middle-aged women overshadow them.
In an interview on Suha Ka Samma with Madeha Naqvi, the Burns Road Ki Neelofar actress shared her thoughts on how some male actors hesitate to work with middle-aged women.
“Men in the entertainment industry are complex and insecure. Many actors over 50 don’t want to work with us [middle-aged women] because they feel threatened and insecure. They believe that working with younger actresses will make them look younger, and they worry that we will overpower them with our work,” she claimed.
Faiza Hasan is not the only one shedding light on the insecurities of older actors.
Actress Javeria Saud, who joined the conversation, revealed a shocking truth, saying, “Wives of middle-aged actors have openly told me that they want to see their husbands with younger women. They don’t want to see their husbands with women of their own age.”
