Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
recently
found
herself
at
the
receiving
end
of
trolls
after
reports
of
her
allegedly
demanding
a
whopping
Rs
12
crore
to
essay
the
role
of
Sita
in
the
adaptation
of
Ramayan
surfaced
on
social
media.
A
section
of
netizens
slammed
her
left
right
and
centre
claiming
that
she
had
apparently
hurt
their
religious
sentiments
by
hiking
her
fee
for
this
role.
Some
even
threatened
to
boycott
the
film
if
Bebo
stars
in
it.
While
Kareena
had
refrained
from
commenting
on
this
matter
so
far,
the
actress
for
the
very
first
time
reacted
to
these
reports
in
her
new
interview
with
a
news
channel.
While
speaking
with
NDTV,
when
the
host
brought
up
this
controversy
and
said,
"What
next
for
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan?
You
have
a
film
with
Aamir
Khan
later
this
year,
there
was
talk
that
you
were
getting
₹12
crore,
you
were
asking
for
₹12
crore,
and
other
actresses
came
out
in
support
of
you,
but
I
think
that
was
fake
news..,"
the
actress
shook
her
head
and
said,
"yeah
yeah."
Speaking
about
this
controversy
surrounding
Kareena,
many
celebrities
like
Taapsee
Pannu,
Priyamani
and
Pooja
Hegde
had
come
out
in
support
of
her
and
called
out
the
pay
disparity
in
Bollywood.
Taapsee
was
quoted
as
saying,
"If
it
would
have
been
a
man
in
that
position,
who
would
have
asked
for
a
particular
amount,
it
would
have
been
looked
upon
like,
his
worth
has
improved.
Like
that
guy
has
really
achieved
big
success
in
life.
But
because
a
woman
is
asking
for
it,
she's
called
'difficult',
'too
demanding'.
It's
always
like
that."
Pooja
Hegde
too
had
defended
Kareena
and
told
a
leading
daily,
"Like
the
song
goes,
'Kuch
toh
log
kahenge,
logo
ka
kaam
hai
kehna
(People
will
always
have
an
opinion
because
that's
what
they
do)'.
That's
a
part
and
parcel
of
the
job
and
I
am
sure
even
Kareena
herself
was
unfazed
by
it.
More
power
to
her!
She
is
asking
for
what
she
thinks
she
is
worth
and
it
is
the
producer's
call
at
the
end
of
the
day
on
what
he
thinks
he
can
pay.
So
more
power
to
her.
The
more
women
realise
their
worth,
the
more
they
will
even
get
what
they
deserve."
Meanwhile,
Priyamani
had
slammed
netizens
for
dragging
a
person's
caste
and
religion
into
the
controversy
and
said
that
it
doesn't
matter
if
an
actor
is
portraying
a
character
from
another
religion
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
just
a
film.
Speaking
about
Kareena's
upcoming
films,
the
actress
will
next
be
seen
in
Aamir
Khan's
Laal
Singh
Chadha.
She
is
also
set
to
make
her
debut
as
a
producer
with
Hansal
Mehta's
upcoming
thriller
along
with
Ekta
Kapoor.
