Kangana Ranaut turns into a motivational guru as soon as she gives a statement on any subject under the sky! The curly haired actress has been known for her fierce statements on the subjects like feminism, nepotism, equal pay and so on. This time, the Queen of Bollywood revealed how the actresses in B-town gave out fake articles on equal pay. There have been a lot of discussions over the topic of the huge wage disparity amongst the male and female actors in the town. Despite giving equal amount of time and efforts, the female artists always suffer when it comes to minting money. However, what disturbs the Manikarnika actress most, is that actresses don’t stand by each other while fighting against this norm.
Talking to a leading publication, Ms Ranaut said, “When I was fighting for equal pay, many women from my industry started fake articles that they are getting this, that. They started hiking their salaries through their PRs. They do not understand how they are harming themselves. What (change) can happen like this- by running someone down and overriding their cause with your own personal agendas? We have got to collectively fight for it. Women have such an inferior complex that they genuinely believe ki itna mil raha hai bahot hai, aur kya chahiye tumko (You are already getting so much. Why do you want more?)”
She also added that the problem arises because of the inferiority complex within themselves. The 31-year-old actress revealed, “Here are women in the industry who say that if actresses are unable to bring in crowds [in a theatre] that a male star can, how can they demand equal pay. If we, as actresses, keep instilling this inferiority complex in girls, there is no hope for better times."
Well, we don’t know whom Kangana Ranaut was referring to but what she said does make sense! We have got many movies right now that pull audiences to theatre with a female lead single handed. Then why this unfair wage practice? Time to come together, tinsel town ladies!
