"Bebo and I did NOT get the kind of money for Veere that John and Varun got for Dishoom": Sonam talks Sexism!

October 3, 2016 Bolly-Freak 110055 reads 41 comments

Sonam Kapoor will soon start working on her next, sis Rhea Kapoor's Veere Di Wedding. The movie will also feature Kareena Kapoor Khan and is supposed to roll soon. However, Sonam, in a candid chat with brother Harshvardhan Kapoor, opened up about the sexism that is rampant in the industry.

Sonam said, "After Raanjhana, all of my movies have been a hit. Still as a woman in the industry, I don't get my price. I still am having difficulties getting projects off the floor. The budgets that I need to shoot them properly. Rhea was like, 'What does my sister have to do? How much money do her films have to make? How many hits does she need to give for you guys to think that she needs more than 15 crores to make a film'?"

She added, "It's heartbreaking and somebody very wise said that, 'Unfortunately, you guys are the change but you are not going to benefit from it. The generation after you are going to benefit from it.' I am okay with it as long as I get to make my films. I am not here to make money though it would be nice. But I would like my projects to get the money. I am not asking for it."

She further said, "For example John Abraham and Varun Dhawan, the kind of money they got to make Dishoom is way more than what Kareena and I were getting to make Veere Di Wedding. I hate to say it but I do think Kareena and I have a wider audience or we could open a film maybe as big as them. We could do as well as them. Just because they are men...Veere..is a commercial film. I find it disgusting. We are making Veere..and we are getting a OK budget but we are not getting what we want. I have to cut my fee, Bebo has to cut her fee to get this film there. The film is not elaborate as we imagined. It is sad and heartbreaking. We need to work extra hard to make it look a certain way. There is a lot of sexism in the society which is disgusting."

I hope soon ppl wont care for her at all. She is just plain dumb.
Deepika charges a.lot of money. Much more than varun because she can.
If you could act you could charge as well.

Varun is her friend. So if she talked like this it may also be that they already had this conversation beforehand. It's not to undermine his work.

Not Salary but money they are getting to make the film.
Yes Varun anytime has bigger box office power than Kareena and Sonam but what about John?
Also read the convo, will understand the context. Its bitter truth nothing obnoxious on her part
