Zeenat Aman is one of the most loved actresses of her time. She was amongst the highest-paid actresses of Bollywood. She has been featured in various Blockbuster films. The veteran actress recently join social media. She is sharing her thought on social media on different issues. The veteran actress from her latest post shows her disappointment from pay disparity on the basis of gender.
She took to social media and wrote, “There are women demanding good roles and refusing to work in films, let's say have participation. They want to do something, they demand something, and they are getting something to do. I think that's exciting. I think women in India should have something to identify with, other than just ornamentation."
The actress added, “In the late 70s, Keith Adam from the Australian Broadcasting Commission popped by the set of Qurbani, where I was rehearsing for Laila O Laila, and snagged himself an interview. It’s been nearly 50 years since this footage was shot, and the industry has changed immensely since. The roles available to women are clearly not just ornamental anymore.”
Zeenat further opens up about the pay gap and said, “What hasn’t changed though is the gender pay gap. In my time I was lauded as the 'highest paid female actor', but the disparity in the pay cheque between my male co-stars and myself was so vast it was laughable. The Zeenat you see in this clip was quite certain that half a century would be enough time to even the scales. So it disappoints me that even today women in the film industry don’t have wage parity."
She concluded, “Women have consistently put in the work, and I really think that the onus is now on our men - actors, directors, producers - to ensure that their female co-workers (not just stars) are paid fairly. It seems such a simple and obvious thing, and yet it would be revolutionary if any man actually did this."
