Priyanka said, “Their logic was that I would not be able to deliver the project on time. I was fine with working when I am pregnant. We had a big argument over it. I said ‘Alright, if I can’t deliver when I am pregnant, you have the right to terminate my contract. If I can deliver, and you don’t want me to, then I have the right to terminate.”

She raised her voice against the remuneration gap in Bollywood amongst the actors and actresses. “If there is an actor at the same stature as me, who would be able to bring in only that much money to a movie, he would still be paid more than me because he is a guy. Nobody is even thinking about it. It is just ingrained,” the 'Sultan' actress said during an interview.

Kangana Ranaut
National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut says sexism lies not only in the film industry but in the movie scripts too. "We do not have lovable ambitious characters when it comes to women. When a man does that, he's called a maverick, multi-faceted and saviour but when a woman does that she becomes ruthless. Selfish is the word given to them".
