Parineeti Chopra’s recent comment on pay parity has drawn flak from netizens. She said that she doesn’t bring up the issue as actresses have the chance to make up for it by doing beauty endorsements.
Parineeti
Chopra's
recent
comment
on
pay
parity
has
drawn
flak
from
netizens.
The
actress
was
recently
on
Film
Companion's
talk
show,
'Tape
Cast'
with
her
Jabariya
Jodi
co-star,
Sidharth
Malhotra.
While
on
the
show,
Parineeti
made
a
statement
on
pay
parity
by
saying
that
she
is
not
too
concerned
with
the
issue
as
actresses
have
the
chance
to
make
up
for
it
by
doing
beauty
endorsements,
which
men
don't
do
as
often.
On
Tape
Cast,
Parineeti
and
Sidharth
spoke
about
various
issues.
When
the
question
of
the
pay
gap
between
men
and
women
in
Bollywood
came
up,
Parineeti
said,
"I
always
felt
like
I
deserved
a
little
bit
more
but
I
only
got
this
much.
But
then
we
make
it
up
with
endorsements.
Girls
do
a
lot
of
endorsements
so
we
kind
of
make
it
up.
So
that
is
why
I
never
talk
about
it
(pay
parity)
because
the
boys
don't
do
as
many
endorsements
as
girls.
I
hope
I'm
right.
We
do
so
many
beauty
commercials
and
hair
commercials
like
so
many
brands
and
I
think
we
kind
of
cover
it
up."
This
unleashed
heavy
social
media
trolling
on
Parineeti
as
netizens
criticized
the
actress
for
her
ideas
on
the
pay
parity
issue.
One
user
wrote,
"who
cares
about
pay
parity
when
you
can
do
beauty
and
hair
commercials."
(sic)
One
netizen
pointed
out
that
Parineeti
contradicted
her
own
statement
-
"So
basically
you
are
working
more
to
"make
up" for
the
lesser
pay.
She
said
it
herself..
But
couldn't
hear
herself
it
seems."
