Stereotypes are indeed changing in Bollywood which is turning more and more towards reality than fair tales and fancy dramas. Earlier, the moment a heroine got into wedlock, no matter how young and beautiful she was, she immediately could be cast only in the roles of mother and sister. A heroine had to be a single woman. Now more and more heroines are still playing the main role even after being married for years, example, comeback film of Madhuri Dixit, Kajol etc.

True Kalyani, Hema Malini looked great in Baghban and had a good role in it although the film was exaggerated in many ways , it was still watchable because of the lead pair played by Hema and Amitabh , who looked cute together !
