Mind the gap: Bollywood embraces pay parity as women actors turn

PATNA/INDIA: Bollywood starlet Urvashi Rautela caused a stir this week when reports surfaced suggesting she had been paid $931,000 for her new film, “Virgin Bhanupriya” — a staggering fee for a woman actor in the Indian film industry. The reports turned out to be a publicity stunt planted by Rautela’s marketing team, with the actor refusing to divulge more details on the “very personal” topic. “I don’t think it’s right for me to discuss my remuneration. It is something very personal,” Rautela told Arab News on Saturday.
