Not really. Sakshi Tanwar, Smriti Irani (when she was active) and Mona Singh are top earners in this industry. Sanya Irani was also among top earner list for her show Rangrasiya. Unfortunately, that show didn't do well and now she will have to lower her demand for the next but this is true for all actors respective of their genders.
One thing is still very depressing and that is the marital status of the actresses. Once an actress is married, she is hardly considered for a lead role in a big project. Even if she is considered she has to cut down her usual remuneration. For example Drashti Dhami despite being the top tv actress has to significantly lower her remuneration for a new project after her marriage... Bollywood is no different too.
