AB confesses he got paid less than Aishwarya Rai in films they did together!

Junior Bachchan recently made a comeback in Bollywood. He was seen in Anurag Kashyap's directorial film, Manmarziyaan. After receiving positive reviews for his character in the film, Abhishek has been offered a couple projects. He has taken up a few projects and one of them is Anurag Basu's sequel to Life in a Metro.

Abhishek has been married to Aishwarya Rai, which provides him an additional insight on pay-scale differences in the Hindi film industry. At a particular interview, Abhishek was asked about the debate relating to different salaries for actors and actresses and #MeToo movement. Abhishek revealed that he has done 9 films with his wife Aishwarya and in 8 films he has been paid less than his star wife.

While sharing his perspective on pay parity, Abhishek said, "I would like to give this some context and perspective. The two women who are close to me, my mother and my wife have worked in the industry on their own terms. They’ve never been forced to do anything they didn’t want to do. There’s a huge debate on gender parity in the film business and in other industries. I’ve worked in nine films with my wife and in eight of those, she’s got paid more than I have. The highest-paid actor in Piku was Deepika (Padukone). It’s a business and if you are a saleable actor, you get paid accordingly. You can’t be a new actress and demand to be paid the same as Shah Rukh Khan."

This couple has proved time and again that they are the ideal couple in Bollywood. The couple was last seen on screen in Raavan (2010). The couple will be seen together next in Sarvesh Mewara's film Gulab Jamun.
