Actress Kriti Sanon who was recently seen in Netflix’s Mimi has quite interesting projects in her kitty, including Om Raut’s Adipurush, Bachchan Pandey and more. Kriti is one of the most highly sought actresses in bollywood. The actress recently expressed her views on the pay disparity between actors and actresses. The Luka Chuppi actress believes that the patriarchal mindset is so normal that it will take a little time to alter and grow.
“Yeah, when I do pulling the audience specially when the festival revolves more around my character, it’s on me, there will be more and more producers, who would feel the confidence of banking the film on me. I feel like it’s a circle, it kind of will even get that pay disparity. That’s how you grow I feel, in life. The only thing that I had pointed out which happens is when a male and a female actor have a similar kind of role, I feel like men don’t have to prove by having the film solely on them, to grow and to increase their price and somewhere females, sometimes have to prove it more by such kind of films, which is what I felt is a very weird difference. But I think we’re slowly growing and things are changing,” Sanon was quoted saying.
The actress further added the patriarchal mindset is so normal that it will take a little time to change and to grow. When pointed out that how actresses like Deepika Padukone, Vidya Balan, Anushka Sharma fought for pay disparity and got women-centric roles, Kriti was quick to reply, “That’s what I was about to say, the day we’ll stop saying female-centric because we never say male-centric. So, I think these small changes when they start coming and it kind of actually becomes equal in our heads when we don’t have any difference, these other differences of pay parity will also somewhere start balancing.” The actress concluded her stance by adding that movies should be content-centric.
