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.
Way to go Deepika!
