Bollywood is one of the biggest film Industries in India. As all other film industries, Bollywood is also a male-dominated industry regarding many aspects. It is so hard to survive in such situations where male are given more importance than female.
But few actresses like Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra are giving their best to show they are also equal to the male actors. One of the aspects in comparison is remuneration. How equally are women paid as men actors?
