In theory this sounds great snd agree with this but realistically it wont happen and not just in india but I think abroad most actresses are not paid the same as their male counterparts. the theory in india at least based on what i have read is that the actors are who draw the audience.

In Hollywood, the pay difference is nowhere near as much as the one in India.

My point was, if the actress is the lead in the film with a top star, then she deserves her market price and should not have to slash her fees.

A case like Vidya slashing her fees in Kahaani is different.

true in hollywood women are more appreciated and their work, and agree they should not slash their price say role is equal or they the lead but getting paid as much as the male actor wont happen though its not right but sadly discrimination btw the sexes remains.

Well unfortunately that's true. Not until the women can pull the audience like the top stars can, not until Bollywood/audience changes can they hope to get paid anywhere near as much as the top male stars. Until then, can we at leats not pay the likes of Imran Khan more than them? That's just embarrassing.

Although I am not surprised this is happening, I am sad nonetheless. These are the basic rights that women fought for, the second wave of feminism back in 70s fought for equal pay. Although, equal pay is still far from perfect, Bollywood should take the cake for sexual discrimination.😡 And its not only the pay part that is disturbing, the part that a male actor can do hero roles for 20-30 years where as actresses are easily replaceable in about 7-8 years. All the 90s actresses are pretty much non-existent, Juhi - moved to parallel cinema but its been awhile since her last movie, Kajol - a movie comes in 5-6 years, Madhuri - comeback was 7 years ago and the others got married and are busy with their domesticated lives. We still have Amitabh doing roles, but Hema Malini and Jaya Bachchan have to be content in playing a role here and there.
Oh well, I could write a whole new topic about that so I'll stop ranting.
Awesome post!👏
