Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is an industry
veteran with rarely a misstep, and she
recently revealed she did it all by
staying true to herself.
In an interview with Indian Express,
Bachchan discussed how she ensured
she was paid what she was worth,
"From the time I started, I'm grateful for
the producers I've worked with, but
right from the beginning, I've worked on
my own terms. I don't think I ever
brought up pay parity. I was never
compared to anybody, even from my
modelling days, in the little bit work that
I did. I still remember that I did very few
shows on the ramp. I bring that as an
example because I remember that I was
a student and I could hardly attend
rehearsals but I had a natural sway to
my walk. This was a bit of a debate,
because I was obviously getting the pay
scale of a top model and if you have to
define height, I'm 5'7, I'm not
somebody who is hitting the gym, I was
not attending rehearsals. They said
you're doing your job and you're fine,
you're getting paid for what you're
delivering and what you're commanding.
I'm grateful that there were people who
got that because I'm not just shooting
the breeze and negotiating. Fortunately, I
got to work with some great talent but I
had to walk away from a lot of work as
well.
Speaking on how she seems to manage
both her career and personal life with
ease, Bachchan shared, "The trick is that
it is seeming effortless. It is a lot of hard
work, like it is for every working woman
or every working mother. But the
choices are what we make. When it
comes to work, we have to find pleasure
within that. When it comes to the kid, it's
all pleasure, there is so much love in that
space.
Bachchan next film is Anurag Kashyap's
Gulab Jamun' with husband Abhishek
Bachchan.
