Even after hits like Queen and Tannu Weds Mannu, the three times National Award winner was only paid half of what she’s paid now. It wasn’t until  Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi that the actress demanded that she be paid Rs 15 crore for the film.

The actress has been vocal on the gendered pay gap in the Bollywood film industry and its only fitting that she was the one to first squash it.

“Every film has its own journey, and yes it is true that there were a lot of hurdles at the beginning of the shoot but the team and I have been there for each other and thus were able to complete the project before schedule.”
