Raveena Tandon, who garnered praise for her role in the legal drama film "Patna Shuklla," has been openly discussing her experiences in the film industry. In a recent interview with Jist, she addressed the gender pay gap prevalent in Bollywood during the 90s.
Raveena Tandon reflected on the pay disparity between male and female actors in the 90s, stating, "Actresses didn't earn much back then. Male stars earned significantly more. What they made in one film, I made in about 15 films. Male actors could afford to be selective with their projects, while actresses often worked with multiple co-stars. Overall, the pay was much lower compared to today."
In a chat with the media, Raveena Tandon spoke about losing out on certain projects because she thought that the costumes or dance moves were inappropriate. Raveena discussed that there were times when she said, “No, I am not going to do this step. No, I am not going to wear this costume.” The star further added, “I have given up so many movies where I was not comfortable with the costumes that I was given to wear. There were so many songs where I have said, ‘Sorry, but I don't think that this is appropriate and I have stood by that.' There have been times where I had to sacrifice a couple of movies and stuff for that. But then, so be it. But I had to live my life my way.”
