PeeCee, aka Priyanka Chopra, openly shares her thoughts and opinions with the media and once made a statement with BBC in an interview. Kangana Ranaut, the Queen of Bollywood, reacted to the interview by the former last year and once again became the talk of the town.

Let’s have a look in detail on this matter.

Priyanka Chopra Statement BBC 2022 India 

In an interview with BBC in 2022, Priyanka Chopra shared that she has never been paid equal to the amount her Male Co-Actors got. Even the time on screen was also not considered and the male actors got higher pay.

The Quantico Actress stated that:

“I have never had pay parity in Bollywood. I have done almost 60 movies there, but I have never got paid the same amount as my male co-actor. I would get paid about 10 percent of my male co-actor. It (the pay gap) is substantially large and so many girls still deal with that.”

• Being one of the most successful actresses in Bollywood as well as Hollywood, she shared her experience, what she has been through in the industry and how females are treated inferiorly. 
• The Citadel actress addressed serious issues like White-Skin Obsession & Racism that India has in relation to her effort to gain some footing in the entertainment industry. 

Priyanka Chopra Jonas stated:

“I did think that I was dark-skinned. I did think that I was not pretty enough. I did think that I would have to work a lot harder even though I was probably a little bit more talented than my co-actors who were lighter-skinned. I thought that was right because it was so normalized. I think, as I grew up, I saw things in my career that I didn’t even know were right or wrong and I had to be educated and learn along the way.”

Kangana Ranaut Response Priyanka Chopra Statement

How come the Queen of the B-town stay calm at this statement and let go the chance to again become the fuss of the town? Kangana Ranaut who was a co-actor with Priyanka Chopra in Fashion Movie, shared in her instagram story:

“It’s true women before me simply submitted to these patriarchal norms. I was the first one to fight for pay parity and the most disgusting thing that I faced while doing this was that my contemporaries offered to work for free on the same roles that I was negotiating for. I can say with confidence most A-listers (women) do films for free along with offering other favors because they fear roles will go to the right people and then shrewdly release articles that they are the highest paid, haha…”

This Manikarnika actress further added:

“In the film industry, everyone knows that only I get paid like male actors and no one else and they have no one else to blame at least now.”

What does Priyanka Chopra say about Feminism?

• PeeCee believes that the Society needs to change their thinking and it is important that women are given equal opportunities.
• In her interview with BBC she shared her opinion about the gap in salary that a male actor gets in comparison to a female actress.
