SHAHID SLAMS KANGANA IN PAY DISPARITY/GENDER COMMENTS

Shahid Kapoor is usually calm and relaxed on the forefront. Even in tricky situations the actor maintains his composure.

But, what happened that the actor lost his patience and got irritated?

At an event, Kangana had announced that she is the third 'Hero' in Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Rangoon' that also stars Shahid Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles along with her. This statement of the actress left everyone shocked.

So at the interviews of his upcoming film 'Udta Punjab', when we asked Shahid about this he got irritated and said, "Why doesn't she say there are three HEROINES in the film? Is there anything less in being a heroine? There are three protagonists in the film and for me, being a HERO or a HEROINE makes no difference. So, if by saying that you being a hero makes you a bigger person, I don't agree with that thought process."

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.

To this Sasha retorted, "Pay parity depends on the saleability of a particular person. I can also sit and cry that I am getting less money than other male actors."

Adding to it he said, "I can't complain about my pay and I know that. That's because my films sell for a certain amount of money whereas other actors sell for a different amount. Obviously that should not be the case and the audience should view a film for its content, regardless of whether it is a female driven or male driven. Unless that happens, you are paid for your viability. But if somebody is getting paid less than what they deserve, based on their commercial viability, that can be a problem!"
