Why would he get paid more? For blockbuster Shaandar? Go and cry.
Hero is used for both male and female while heroine is used for only female. I remember reading review of Neerja where title of one review was 'a found tribute to a forgotten hero.' So? Big deal? '. At that time protagonist might not have came in her mind. All she was trying to say that she is equally important in film. I guess not hard to decipher.

And kangana said that long back but classy people like shahid and Irfan are coming out to take dig when she is down becoz of non stop controversies.

Male ego might have got hurt because a female called herself a 'hero'.

Any girl could have been in Bodyguard and it would have sold just as many tickets so that was a fair market price; why should the makers "pay" for a more expensive actress when it isn't going to change their box office. Kareena got huge exposure (and some criticism for doing such a useless part) on top of the 4 cr. AV surely involved some nepotism - her choice.


The same could be said for Imran in MBKD and yet, he was paid twice as much.

As far as changing box office is concerned, hiring the likes of John Abraham or Arjun Rampal is also not going to change box office return for a film, but do you know how much these second tier actors get paid? 15 cr. That is 4 cr more than Deepika after her successive hits in 2015, and more than twice what Vidya Balan takes home. Both ladies outclass these men easily in every single department, including box office collection. Still, they are given pennies on the dime for their work. How is that justifiable?

Further when he was asked that Kangana had also said that she is the highest paid Bollywood actress and that she got the same fees as Saif and Shahid.



The most enlightening thing I read was this...Kangana, I'm assuming is being paid a major fee for this, but which ultimately translates to the same income that Shahid and Saif are charging per film😕

So even actors who flop repeatedly will make more money than actresses who have hits to their names and have brought in the crowds. How does this even make any sense?

^ ^ Apparently for Fitoor, Kat and ARK both got 4 crores. ARK is not even half the star Katrina is.

ARK has one solo hit in his kitty and Kat has about 15. Where is the equality?

The wordplay is great here but he essentially missed KR's point.
Males are given way too much importance in a film.
even biggest female star is not paid as much as the likes of John Abraham though the box office pull of his is 25% of the female star.
Deepika was paid way less for Tamasha and RK 34/38 cr. And Ranveer is paid almost as much as Deepika.
Pay disparity between genders is a serious issue in every sector of a work place.
