Taapsee Pannu unhappy with pay disparity in Bollywood, says men who started with her earn 3-5 times more than her

Updated : Jul 5, 2021, 08:23 IST

The pay disparity between male and female actors in Bollywood has been a hot topic of discussion for decades now. The latest actress to talk about the same publically is Taapsee Pannu, a much sought after actress known for her versatility. Weighing in on the whole issue of economic inequality between heroes and heroines in the industry, the actress, in a recent interview, said that female actors who ask for more money are tagged ‘difficult’, while if a male actor hikes his fee, it's considered a mark of success. She said, 'If a female actor asks more, she is termed difficult and problematic and if a man asks more it’s a mark of his success. Difference is, the men who started with me earn 3-5 times more than what I do. And the gap keeps increasing as we go in higher star category.' Furthermore, Taapsee said that the audience does not celebrate female actors as much as male actors. She continued, 'Even now we struggle with budgets. Everyone hears that since it’s a female-driven film budgets will have to be slashed and that’s because our returns are always unfair in comparison to our male counterparts. And audience is a big reason behind that.'
