When Abhishek Bachchan spoke about pay disparity in Bollywood
The issue of pay disparity has been around for several years and exists in almost every industry. Bollywood too is no exemption from this list. However, times are definitely changing in this regard. Earlier, we would never see female stars get paid equal to their male counterparts. Now, not only more of that is evident but, in some cases, female actors are even getting a bigger remuneration than our heroes.
During an interview with a leading daily, Abhishek Bachchan was asked about his take on the issue. The actor replied that it all comes down to the actor’s marketability and bankability. The actor stated, “There’s a huge debate on gender parity in the film business and in other industries. I’ve worked in nine films with my wife and in eight of those, she’s got paid more than I have. The highest-paid actor in Piku was Deepika (Padukone). It’s a business and if you are a saleable actor, you get paid accordingly. You can’t be a new actress and demand to be paid the same as Shah Rukh Khan.”
Abhishek and Aishwarya have starred together in several films, including Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Na Kaho, Umrao Jaan, Raavan, and Guru.
