We are headed in the right direction : Deepika Padukone on Equal Pay
May 15, 2015 Karan Shah |
We all know that actors are paid huge amounts of money in return for their services in the film, however actresses aren't paid as much as the actors. A male star is paid more than what an actress gets even when she acts as the lead in a women-centric film. A long debate has been going on for the demand of equal pay for actors and actresses.
So, when we asked Deepika Padukone about this at the Piku success party, she stated, "It's a long debate and several processes need to be put into place for this to happen. Yes, it is true that guys are paid way more than what the girls get paid, but I guess there is a reason for that too. However, times are changing and we are also reacting to it. I am very optimistic that the change will happen and we are headed in the right direction. With the kind of roles that we are being offered now, I guess we are heading in the right direction."
