Priyanka sat down in Hollywood about the remuneration and satirized Bollywood
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has established herself as an international star. Working in Hollywood. With 'Quantico' in hand. Then Priyanka worked in films like 'Baywatch', 'The Matrix Resurrection'. This time, Desi Girl has teamed up with the famous Russo Brothers of Marvel. This is the first time in her 22-year-long career that she has received the same remuneration as a male star - said Desi Girl.
In an interview to a foreign media, Priyanka said, 'I have been associated with the film industry for the last 22 years. So far I have worked in more than 70 films. I have done several television shows. 'Citadel' was the first time I got paid the same as a male actor opposite me.'
Priyanka has been able to set this precedent after two decades of career. The star has opened his mouth several times about wage discrimination. In films other than female leads, actresses have to work for less than half of male stars. Priyanka has raised this complaint several times. Not only in Bollywood, several Hollywood actresses have also come forward with pay discrimination.
Priyanka said, 'It is a very strange thing! As much as a male actor puts in a film, I work as hard as I do. Despite this, I am being paid less. According to her, 'being paid less just because I am a woman is a form of gender discrimination!'
After working in the film industry for 22 years, Priyanka finally got the same salary as male actors. Talking about this, he also said, 'Maybe there are a handful of women filmmakers in Hollywood, because of my contract with one of them, I am currently getting equal remuneration.
Had he not been there, would I have got that salary' — asked the star. But slowly changes are coming in the mentality of the film makers, the perspective is changing. She believes that if female stars are aware of their rights, then the wage disparity can be reduced a lot in the future.
