Salman Khan Practical Or Sexist?

Several Bollywood actresses including Vidya Balan, Kangana Ranaut and Deepika Padukone have claimed that the female actors in the industry do not get equally paid, when compared to the male actors. Many male actors have also been supportive of these claims. Superstar Salman Khan also shared his opinion on the topic, claiming that these discussions are “bulls**t talk”.

The actor said, “The question is, who is pulling those people into a theatre? If a female star is getting those many people and the producer is making money, the exhibitor and distributor are all making money, then obviously they (female actors) will get that much money ... but if it’s a male star, then he will get it”. Salman believes that the amount of money each actor earns is fair.

The Bajrangi Bhaijaan star stated that the there are several female actors who are currently earning more than male actors. He said, “There are so many male stars who get a lot less than many female stars ... there are male stars in the Rs 1 to 3 crore bracket, and there are lots of female stars in the Rs 5 to 7 crore bracket ... that’s also there, right? Uske bare mein koi kyun nahi bolta? So this whole female ­stars-male stars debate is bulls**t. Whoever is selling, and as much he or she is selling, will get that much”.
