Priyanka Chopra Slams Gender Pay Gap, Color Bias in Film Industry

Share


Global star Priyanka Chopra, currently shooting for SSMB 29 alongside Superstar Mahesh Babu, has sparked widespread discussion with her candid remarks on inequality in the film industry. Speaking about her journey across Bollywood and Hollywood, the actress highlighted persistent issues of gender bias and pay disparity.

“Actresses work just as hard as male stars but earn a fraction of what they do—we don’t even get a tenth of a hero’s fee. Often, we end up waiting on set until the hero decides when to start,” Priyanka said, pointing to systemic inequities that still plague Indian cinema. In contrast, she noted that Hollywood offers a more professional and equitable work environment.

Reflecting on her early career, Priyanka revealed how darker skin tone criticism cost her multiple opportunities. “I had to work harder than others to prove myself,” she shared, explaining that these experiences shaped her resilience and ambition.

Now an internationally acclaimed actress and producer, Priyanka is using her platform to advocate for fairness, stressing that talent and dedication should outweigh gender or skin color. Her comments have earned strong support from fans and feminist groups alike, serving as a timely reminder that the industry must continue moving toward equity and respect for all artists.
