Accepted Answer

In a recent interview, actor Sonam Kapoor opened up that she lost several film offers because she stood up against the unequal pay. "The pay gap is ridiculous," she said. Kapoor then continued, "I can stand up to it, but then I don't get those roles, and I'm okay with that." The actor added that over the past few years, she has realised that she cannot judge anyone.

Question 2

What are Sonakshi Sinha's views on Gender Pay Gap?

Accepted Answer

Sonakshi Sinha revealed in 2017 that the only thing I could think of changing in Bollywood is the pay disparity because more and more women centric films are being made nowadays. She firmly believes that if a filmmaker shows trust in a woman and if she brings the returns on investment, she should be given the same payment as men.

Question 3

What are Katrina Kaif's views on gender pay gap?

Accepted Answer

Speaking about the difference in box office collections between women centric films and the male dominated ones, Katrina Kaif opened up that female dominated films with one or two female leads must be given the same budget and mounting that are given to the male stars or the combination of a male and a female star. "Give that to a female film and see what happens then," she said while talking at We The Women in 2019.

Kaif added that if most of the female led films are small in terms of ideas, content and nature, one cannot compare their opening to movies like Dhoom 3. She said that the gender pay gap doesn't anger. Rather it makes her more passionate. " I want to see a film with -- not supported by men-- the same budget that you give to the big action franchises," Kaif concluded.
