International actress Priyanka Chopra recently debuted on
the professional networking site LinkedIn. During a tête-à-tête with the
Website, Priyanka touched upon the topic of disparity in pay between male and
female stars.
She told, "Somehow professional men are given more
remuneration and compensation than women are. As a woman, I don’t understand
it, but that’s the world we live in."
She further added, “I don’t want to take away from the male
actors who actually bring the audiences in. So, when you have an Aamir or
Salman on the poster, they make 300 crores. But movies with female leads simply
do not make that kind of money. The day female lead films make or command that
much money, we will make that much too. But for that to happen, the audience
needs to watch a movie because it’s got a great story and not just because
particular star is in it.”
