What: Kangana Ranaut opens up on pay parity in Bollywood after Priyanka Chopra Jonas talks about it. Kangana claimed that she was the first actor to fight for pay parity in the industry and said that many female actors do films for free even now. She also claimed to be the only female actor to be paid like the male actors.
Furthermore…On her Instagram, Kangana Ranaut posted a video of Priyanka Chopra Jonas discussing pay disparity in the Bollywood industry. Sharing her perspective on the matter, Kangana wrote, “It’s true women before me simply submitted to these patriarchal norms… I was the first one to fight for pay parity, and the most disgusting thing that I faced while doing this was that my contemporaries offered to work for free on the same roles that I was negotiating for… I can say with confidence most A-listers (women) do films for free along with offering other favours because they fear roles will go to the right people… and then shrewdly release articles that they are highest paid ha ha…”
We say: She may love courting controversy but she does fight for her rights. Good going, Kangana!
