from
the
audience
section
told
Taapsee,
"Taapsee

Hindi
mein
bol
lo,
kyunki
Hindi
filmein
aap
karti
ho."
(Taapsee,
I
request
you
to
talk
in
Hindi,
since
you
do
Hindi
films).
Taapsee
Pannu
Hits
Back
Without
getting
angry,
Taapsee
answered
back, "Main
toh
bahut
Hindi
mein
baat
karti
hoon." She
further
added,
"I
am
a
South
Indian
actress
also."
This
Is
What
Happened
On
Twitter
Later,
a
netizen
asked
the
actress
on
Twitter,
"Kyunki
Hindi
elite
nahi
banati
hai
na"
(Hindi
language
does
not
make
one
elite).
To
this,
she
replied,
"Elite
bhasha
nahi
soch
banati
hai
(Thoughts
make
one
elite,
not
language)."
Taapsee
Also
Spoke
About
Pay
Parity
In
Bollywood
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.
