Are you telling me Kareena gets more than DP/Kat or even PC?

The reality is when economy and commerce factor become ONLY most important factor in creative then i think this disparity will always be there in hindi movies. Simple business says how much money (can bring viewer to movie hall) a male actor vs. female actor can bring to table in a purely commercial movie.

I think this disparity will grow on the basis of story , weightage and role of both actor and actress in a movie. When the gap is wider wage disparity will be higher and when those factor were narrowed down then wage disparity will also become narrow. Just like in art movies or commercial movies where both hero and heroine have equal weightage and role .

Errr...I'm not telling you. This article is showing you.

Anyway, don't know why people have turned this into a "NO way Kareena gets paid more than PC, Kat, etc" debate. Accept it, move on.

There are more important points in this article. Such as...oh I dunno, disparity between male and female actors.

Here is another Kareena fangirl example. She says accept Kareena gets paid more than Dp/Kat and move on. Hahahaha you numbskull why on this planet a producer/director will sign kareena ahead of DP/Kat if he cares about box office collection? Kareena is past tense. Accept it and move on.

Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone reportedly command a '8 crore fee

Hainnn.. creative industry and equal pay? On what basis? These celebs earn in Crores and we worry abt them? The article is bullshit coz nobody from BW ever disclose their wages.. as one can understand it wud change from movie to movie... the amount of workload to BO success. Its in the end a business... Creativity kicks off and cash registers end it. And its a fact, heroines dont have the BO pull like Superstar heroes. Heroines workload in a typical commercial movie is also much less than Heroes. So-called No1 Heroines "Finding Fanny" is out of mind but the flops of superstar heroes r ever remembered.

Btw, the articles says HR dances at weddings for money? I never heard of it b4. Can some1 shed lights on it. If its true, then I will call him "Bhand" too.

This is why the wage gap and several issues never get resolved. People are unable to see the big picture. Instead they selfishly focus on narrow issues that conform to their personal views and needs. Fans would rather hold all women back, rather than accept their favorite commands a lower wage. It quickly degenerates into which actress is most viable and worthy of raises.

Patricia Arquette made a compelling well spoken call for wage equality. However, because she is white and because she asked for other minorities to rally people have taken offense to it. LGBT and black people are saying they don't owe anything to white women. People are missing the point. She is asking wage equality for all women. This includes black women and LGBT women. While minority communities don't owe anyone anything, minority communities do need to be collectively empathetic to each others causes. They are all exploited by people in power by some way or another. It should not become a battle of who owns what whom.
