While a woman’s opportunities significantly decrease as she gets older, a male actor seamlessly transitions from one leading role to another. Therefore, it is not surprising that anti-aging products are bringing in so much revenue for the cosmetics industry. In the popular sitcom Bulbulay, Hina Dilpazeer plays Nabeel Zafar’s mother despite being younger than him. This is a glaring example of this disparity. Zafar acknowledged this imbalance on a recent podcast with FHM,…
