Priyanka on male stars getting “ridiculous amount of zeroes” on pay cheques

Priyanka Chopra has spoken out again about pay disparity that prevails in the film industry.

The actress, who has witnessed global stardom with success in Bollywood and Hollywood, spoke to The Indian Express about pay cheques. She was asked if zeros on pay cheques mattered to her, to which she responded, “Definitely they do. I was not born with a silver spoon and I worked really hard to be where I am today. I am extremely proud to be the only women on the men’s only list.”

She added, “There are many people who talk about the kind of numbers apparently I get for certain minutes of my time. But has anyone ever asked the boys about the zeroes on their cheques? I mean they get a ridiculous amount of zeroes. I should be happy that they are celebrating a woman who has gone out there but my question is why there are no other females on the list.”

Chopra is currently on her Christmas break until she heads back to the US to continue shooting for ‘Quantico – Season 3’.
