The subject of pay inequality in Bollywood has been a topic
of serious discussion. But, numerous actors are coming forward and talking
about how men and women should be paid equally depending on their merit and not
their gender. Recently, in a media chat Shah Rukh Khan got candid about women
in Bollywood getting their much-needed due, just like male actors.
"It’s a male-dominated industry. You can’t shirk it
away or ignore it. I would love it to be different. There should be no
disparity. A male actor and a female actor should get the same fees — why is it
different, I don’t know. But I would also add that no actor — male or female —
should over-estimate their performance. No individual — be it director or actor
— should burden the film’s expense by charging an amount that goes beyond the
performance of the film’s opening weekend," Shah Rukh revealed to a daily.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh will next be seen in Aanand L. Rai's
directorial titled Zero. Film Zero is scheduled to release on December 21,
2018.
