Dippy is among the highest paying actresses in the Indian film industry
Deepika Padukone’s birthday became twice as merry with the news of her remuneration coming into play. The actress, who has turned 30 today, is in reports to have increased her remuneration after the smashing success of her film Bajirao Mastani. Can you guess how much will she be charging for all the awesome sauce efforts she puts in? Rs 15 crore!
While this number may make your jaw hit the floor, we hear that many of the Bollywood actresses are not even close to what the actress earns. With a hike in her remuneration and a Hollywood film in her pipeline, Deepika sure is going to have a fantastic year ahead.
Deepika’s close friend Priyanka Chopra in an interview EXCLUSIVELY revealed how biased our industry is when it comes to paying female actors. “Whenever I say that, everyone is like, ‘Yeh purana ho gaya’. I don’t talk about payments; my art is too deep for me. I work so much that I am not apologetic about what I get paid. Everybody should be compensated for the work they do and remuneration is meant for that!” she said.
Looks like it is time for Dippy to break the bars loose for the female leads in our industry, you go girl!
