Global sensation Priyanka Chopra recently talked about the disparity in the fees of male and female actors and also shared an incident where she lost out on a film due to her skin colour.
Speaking about wage disparity, PeeCee said that it happens everywhere, be it India or U.S.A., and the pay gap is staggering in films with big actors.
She also revealed that she deals with such incidents by making her agent negotiate on her behalf. Referring to an incident where she faced colour-discrimination, Priyanka said that it happened last year when a studio executive called one of her agents and said, she has the wrong physicality.
As an actor, she asked whether she needed to be skinnier or get in shape or does she need to have abs, as she wondered, "what does ‘wrong physicality’ mean"?. She understood it had to do something with her skin colour when her agent broke it down for her. He allegedly indicated the studio meant that they wanted someone who’s not brown.
