Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha reveals the pay discrepancy
in Bollywood is far from equalising, but the debate on the topic is going in a
positive direction.
Sonakshi first spoke about pay disparity two years ago
around the release of "Akira". Has the scenario changed since then?
"Though it is far from equalising, the talk on pay
disparity has gone (in) a positive direction. It is much better now. Pay
disparity between men and women -- in any industry -- has existed for years; so
it will not change overnight. It is a constant process. The good thing is the
process has started," Sonakshi revealed in an interview.
"Being an actress, I am talking about the film
industry, but it exists in other fields as well whether it is sports or
business. All professionals put in equal effort, then why is there a gender
bias in pay?” she added further.
The actress is now busy shooting for her forthcoming movie
"Happy Bhag Jayegi Returns".
"I am so happy playing a Punjabi girl in the film. You
know my father is a Bihari and my mother is a Sindhi, but I am Punjabi in my
head... So, playing a Punjabi on screen is so much fun," said Sonakshi.
