💰 Deepika Padukone’s ₹20 Crore Demand Sparks Industry Buzz: Equal Pay or Diva Behavior?
Bollywood’s reigning queen, Deepika Padukone, is making headlines again—this time for commanding a staggering ₹20 crore fee for her role in the upcoming film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas.
While some industry insiders applaud her for asserting her worth, others question whether such demands are setting a new precedent or simply reflecting the evolving dynamics of Bollywood’s pay structure.
Deepika’s stance on pay parity isn’t new. She previously made headlines for seeking equal remuneration to her husband, Ranveer Singh, for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra, a move that reportedly led to her exit from the project.
In interviews, Deepika has expressed hope for a future where discussing an actress’s pay isn’t newsworthy, emphasizing the need for normalized conversations around compensation.
As Deepika continues to break barriers and challenge industry norms, her actions ignite discussions on gender equality, fair compensation, and the evolving landscape of Indian cinema.
