Tabu expressed frustration with repetitive questions about pay parity for female actors. During promotions for ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’, she suggested that such questions should be directed at those who pay male actors more.

In conversation, Tabu voiced her frustration about being repeatedly asked about pay parity during media interactions. She said, “Media always questions female actors about pay disparities, asking us why men are paid more. Instead, why not ask those who pay them? I’m often left to either say, 'I hate that I’m paid less,' or, 'I’m okay with my pay.' Why not question male actors about why they earn more?”

She added, “It would be interesting to get a different perspective. The whole concept of beauty is more compelling when viewed through an external lens. Beauty and physicality are always interpreted based on the lens through which they are seen.”
