Very soon we are going to get there,' added Poonam, who is content with how her journey in the 'unplanned and unpredictable career' has shaped up. It's a reality of life that women have romance, traumas, dramas in their life. 'But we (in India) have to accept that a woman 50-plus still has romance in her life. Various older actors are doing substantial and meaty roles. You see a Jane Fonda doing a romantic scene even at 80 or a Meryl Streep in the central role. The age barrier still has to be broken in our Hindi films. ' '102 Not Out' (featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor) was an exception. She has no complaints as far as her career is concerned, but doesn't dismiss the fact that after a certain age, there aren't enough roles for older women and men too. It's all about good entertainment,' Poonam said. Even if it is a cartoon character in it, they still enjoy it. As long as it is an entertaining, gripping film, people just enjoy it. But it doesn't matter who is in the centre - a male or female. 'Women are given their due, and I think female-centric roles are also well-written. It saw Katrina Kaif doing as much action as Salman Khan perhaps. At one time, especially during the era of action heroes, women took a bit of a secondary role because heroes were doing most of the action. 'People have started accepting that today a female plays an equally important role in a film. She feels delighted to see the transition that the Hindi film heroine has undergone.

'I've been very much around, enjoying doing things at my own pace rather than just working, working and working,' asserted Poonam, whose last Hindi film was 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' five years ago, but she did a Punjabi movie and a play in between. 'Back? Where did I go,' asked the evergreen actress, breaking into a laughter. Now, she will be seen in Sony Entertainment Television's new show 'Dil Hi Toh Hai' and in a film helmed by Luv Ranjan - in both of which she plays a mother, but with different traits. Poonam, who began her accidental career with Yash Raj Films' 'Trishul' 40 years ago and went on to feature in 80 to 90 movies, has been having an intermittent brush with showbiz over the past few years. She started her acting career even before she was 16, pursued her graduation three years after becoming an actor, did her MBA when her children were in senior secondary school, and at 56, she has received two honorary doctorates.ДЄge has been no bar for veteran actress Poonam Dhillon in doing what she wanted to, but she says that barrier needs to be broken for both men and women in the Hindi film industry.
