Recently
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
found
herself
in
the
midst
of
a
controversy
when
reports
surfaced
in
the
media
that
she
had
allegedly
demanded
a
whopping
Rs
12
crore
to
play
Sita
in
the
adaptation
of
Ramayan
reimagined
from
Sita's
perspective.
These
rumours
provoked
outrage
on
social
media
as
many
trolled
the
actress
claiming
that
she
had
hurt
their
religious
sentiments
by
hiking
her
fee
for
this
project.
In
the
light
of
this
controversy,
Bebo
spoke
about
equal
pay
in
the
industry
in
her
latest
interview
with
the
Guardian.
The
actress
said
that
she
makes
it
clear
how
much
she
should
be
paid
for
projects,
and
likened
it
to
'respect'
while
speaking
with
the
news
portal.
The
Good
Newwz
star
said,
"Just
a
few
years
ago,
no
one
would
talk
about
a
man
or
woman
actually
getting
equal
pay
in
a
movie.
Now
there
are
a
lot
of
us
being
very
vocal
about
it."
She
further
added,
"I
make
it
quite
clear
what
I
want
and
I
think
that
respect
should
be
given," she
says.
"It's
not
about
being
demanding,
it's
about
being
respectful
towards
women.
And
I
think
things
are
kind
of
changing."
In
the
same
interview,
Kareena
also
dismissed
accusations
of
nepotism
saying
that
neither
she
nor
her
sister
Karisma
Kapoor
has
ever
bagged
a
role
of
the
basis
of
anything
other
than
hard
work.
The
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"When
Karisma
joined
the
film
industry,
she
was
the
only
one
in
the
family
working.
So
it
was
us,
the
women,
who
took
the
dynasty
forward."
Kareena
had
made
her
debut
in
Bollywood
with
the
2000
film
Refugee.
The
3
Idiots
actress
also
opened
up
on
how
she
raised
several
eyebrows
when
she
got
hitched
to
Saif
Ali
Khan
who
was
ten
years
senior
and
previously
married
with
two
kids.
"When
I
married
Saif,
so
many
people
told
me
that
my
career
would
be
over
because
no
producer
wants
to
work
with
a
married
actress.
At
that
time,
no
other
Bollywood
actress
got
married
and
then
continued
to
work.
But
I
just
thought:
OK,
well,
if
it
does
end
my
career,
then
that's
fine,
that's
my
destiny.
I'm
not
going
to
not
marry
the
person
that
I
love," Kareena
told
the
Guardian.
With
respect
to
work,
Kareena
will
next
be
seen
in
Aamir
Khan-starrer
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
