Global Icon Priyanka Chopra, who has
recently been featured in the top 10
of Forbes Celebrity 100 list that ranks
celebrities in order of their annual income,
questioned on why there's only one woman
on the list, adding that men are never asked
about their income.I have worked hard to
get here. I was not born with a silver spoon,
even though my parents always gave me
one. But I have worked really hard to be
where I am and each of us deserves to be
compensated for it. But why are not men
asked about the number of zeroes on their
cheques? We should also ask, why there is
just one woman on the list, she said, while
speaking on the same on Tuesday.Don't get
me wrong, I'm very proud of myself that I
had the ability to work so hard that I can
stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my male
counterparts today in the top 10 of India,
she added.Amidst the much talked about
gender pay-gap, the 25-year-old actress
holds the seventh position on the list, racing
ahead of Hrithik Roshan and MS Dhoni.
According to the list, she earned a
whopping Rs 68 crore in the year
2017.Meanwhile, Salman Khan topped the
list for the second time in a row, followed
by Shah Rukh Khan.The Baywatch' star was
in the national capital to deliver the Penguin
Annual Lecture, on the theme Breaking The
Glass Ceiling: Chasing a dream', at its 11th
edition.While speaking on the theme, the
National Award-winning actor said her
biggest dream is to leave behind a legacy.I
always have the same dream that manifests
into different things and my biggest dream
is to leave behind a legacy, she said.The girl,
who came out of an Army School from
Bareilly, added, "Don't forget where you
come from, don't forget your roots. On the
work front, the Desi Girl, who is ruling the
west, was last seen in Bollywood in Sanjay
Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani',
alongside Deepika Padukone and Ranveer
Singh. (ALSO READ: Deepika Padukone,

On a related note, when asked about the
Padmavati' row, Priyanka said, "I stand by
the team Padmavati. I called up Sanjay Leela
Bhansali and Deepika Padukone to express
support. We are dealing with polarisation
everywhere. Why actors are made political
scapegoats? Why the government is not
asked tough questions?
