Many
Bollywood
actresses
have
spoken
about
the
pay
gap
which
persists
between
men
and
women
in
the
film
industry.
Recently
during
an
interactive
session,
Sayani
Gupta
also
addressed
this
shortcoming
about
the
industry
and
recalled
how
she
was
once
told
by
a
casting
director
that
it's
a
norm
for
men
to
be
paid
more
than
the
women.
While
speaking
about
pay
disparity
in
the
film
industry
at
the
HT
NxT
session,
Sayani
said,
"I
have
been
told
that
the
male
counterparts
get
more
in
the
same
shows
that
I
am
being
part
of.
I
do
not
know,
and
of
course,
none
of
us
really
go
and
discuss
how
much
we
are
getting
paid.
Kirti
Kulhari
and
I
are
in
the
same
project,
but
we
do
not
know
how
much
individually
we
are
making.
I
think
that
would
be
extremely
unprofessional
to
discuss.
That
is
like
a
bit
of
a
no-go
zone,
we
don't
really
know."

actress
continued,
"There
is
no
balance
sheet
coming
out
that
we
can
refer
to,
and
check
and
say,
'Oh,
this
one
is
getting
this
much.
I
am
paid
this
much'.
I
have
been
told
by
one
casting
director
that
it
is
a
norm,
apparently,
to
pay
men
more
than
women.
But,
having
said
that,
we
do
not
know.
We
do
not
have
access
to
that
kind
of
information."
Besides
Sayani
Gupta,
Kirti
Kulhari,
Rasika
Dugal
and
Jaideep
Ahlawat
were
also
a
part
of
the
interactive
session.
Speaking
about
work,
Sayani
was
recently
seen
in
Amazon
Mini
TV
anthology,
Kaali
Peeli
Tales.
Her
last
Bollywood
release
was
Sanya
Malhotra-starrer
Pagglait.
