Actresses get paid less than their male counterparts and there has been a massive debate over the issue. Recently Hollywood star Benedict Cumberbatch from Doctor Strange, said that he would not take on a role unless his female co-stars are paid the same.
Bollywood’s heartthrob Sonam Kapoor said that she felt sad that women have to put up with this and that this misogynistic and patriarchal mindset has to change. She felt that women have to collectively fight for the issue and that she has been doing her bit right from the beginning of her career. Another actress said that when the work involves the same amount of efforts, it’s not fair that women do not get the same paycheck.
