Kriti Sanon blaming the “Patriarchal mindset”, said that how it’s evident that male actors get paid more than female actors and will take time to change.
Bollywood diva Kriti Sanon recently spoke about the pay disparity between men and women in Bollywood. She also expressed that according to her, there is a patriarchal mindset in the industry that has become normalised. In an interview with a leading daily, the actress feels that it will take time for people to grow out of this mindset.
Kriti Sanon told ETimes, “The only thing that I had pointed out which happens is when a male and a female actor have a similar kind of role, I feel like men don’t have to prove by having the film solely on them, to grow and to increase their price and somewhere females, sometimes have to prove it more by such kind of films, which is what I felt is a very weird difference. But I think we’re slowly growing and things are changing. The patriarchal mindset is so normal that it will take a little time to change and to grow.”
The Mimi’ actress added, “The day we’ll stop saying female-centric because we never say male-centric. So, I think these small changes when they start coming and it kind of actually becomes equal in our heads when we don’t have any difference, these other differences of pay parity will also somewhere start balancing.”
