The actor while promoting his upcoming movie PINK recently confessed that Deepika was paid more than him for Piku.
WOAH! Deepika Padukone becomes world’s 10th HIGHEST PAID actress in Forbes list; Beats Priyanka Chopra!
The actor is gearing up for his upcoming movie and while promoting Pink in a recent interview to Bollywoodlife Amitabh made this shocking revelation.
Here's what he said: “I dunno if this is relevant or not. Whether coz of circumstances this has happened but I can tell you one thing, in Piku, Deepika Padukone was paid more than me and that says two things – one that she is obviously more important than me and two I have lost my price tag coz I have been working for so long. Maybe I am not so important.”
Big B was accompanied by director Shoojit Sircar who also proudly revealed why it was justified to pay Deepika more in terms of remuneration.
Shoojit added: "But I think what’s the harm? If the woman’s character is that then it’s okay. For example, everybody asked me if it’s (Piku) is a woman-centric film. I said why? Coz a woman has a stronger character that’s why it’s a woman-centric film. But there are many films with only heroes but that is not man-centric film.
Recently Deepika made her way to the most coveted list of world’s highest-paid actresses by Forbes. The 30-year-old actress became world’s 10th HIGHEST PAID actress in Forbes list.
