Stunning lady Shruti Hassan walked the red carpet of the Cannes International Film Festival in superb fashion as she flaunted her style in a stylish back outfit. The ‘Gabbar Singh’ actress talked about various issues before the event with India Today and one of them was about the existence of pay disparity in the film industry.
She said, “That’s a long way off, to be honest. But we are dreaming of that gender egalitarianism occurring sooner rather than later. There are also a larger set of concerns regarding the safety of women, education for girls, clean health and sanitation, which are the root issues that need to be addressed for an overarching change in society. As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, we still have a ways to go, but we can certainly see the changes creeping in slowly but steadily.”
She adds, “Honestly, I’m always at the receiving end of the pay disparity. It’s gotten better but nowhere close to what’s fair. But hey, I work, I create and I’m happy to have a fun time working. We, women, do need to band together if we want to see that change, where all women benefit.”
Talking about her career, she states, “My journey has seen equal doses of highs and lows. I’ve taken my learning from both but also haven’t let them define me too much. I never look back with regret. I take it as a lesson to not repeat certain things that impede my growth . But overall, I have fun with the journey. I’ve had a very unpredictable but beautiful career and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
