During an interview for BBC’s 100 Women, the 40-year-old actor said that she received equal pay to her male co-actor for the first time in her career for her role in the US series,“I’ve never had pay parity in Bollywood,” Chopra said. “I would get paid about 10 per cent of the salary of my male co-actor.
“My generation of female actors have definitely asked [for equal pay]. We’ve asked, but we’ve not got it.”“I thought it was absolutely OK to sit for hours and hours on set, while my male co-actor just took his own time, and decided whenever he wanted to show up on set is when we would shoot,” she said.star continued speaking about the bullying and body shaming she’s received in the past.
“Of course, that comes from our colonial past, it’s not even been 100 years since we shed the British Raj, so we still hold on to it, I think. But it is up to our generation to be able to cut those ties and change it so that the next generation doesn’t inherit the equity placed on light skin.”
