The actress said the amount that actresses get in Bollywood are "not even half of (what) the leading men (get paid) further adding, "It is way less than one-fourth at times -- to be honest, even less. Half of the salary of the leading hero is the entire budget of a female-driven film of an A-list actress."

"I hope it changes in my lifetime. That can happen when more and more people walk into a female-driven film in theatres. Only box-office can change this. Yes, women-driven films have increased drastically over the last four to five years but the big difference will happen when the (box-office) numbers come in. There is no other way," concluded the actress.

Speaking about films, Taapsee will next be seen in Anubhav Sinha's 'Thappad' and Akarsh Khurrana's 'Rashmi Rocket'.
