Wamiqa Gabbi has garnered a lot of attention after the release of her film, Bhool Chuk Maaf. The actress has paved her way in the industry by starting working from a very young age. Since she belongs to a non-filmy background, Wamiqa is slowly carving her space into Bollywood with her hard work and talent. In a recent interview with Zoom, she spoke about the existence of pay disparity and said, “The fact that pay disparity exists doesn’t consume me, but there is this feeling that you’re a woman and you will be paid less and that is how it is. The reasoning is that a male actor can pull that much audience, but you can’t make a film without the heroine.”

Wamiqa also pointed out how she fails to understand the need for this difference. “I don’t understand the logic behind this. Sometimes, they take a hero and pay a lot of money, and then the film doesn’t work. Why doesn’t their fees get affected?” Wamiqa said. The gorgeous actress also mentioned how despite being a talented woman who holds a big screen impact gets paid less as compared to other male actors.

 She added, “I want to find different ways to earn that money. I wish to do it in a creative way where I feel happier and decrease that pay gap for myself. I can’t deny this fact that pay disparity is there. Not every ‘male-centric’ film can do without the female lead.”
