Well known to Telugu audiences as the ‘Legend’ actress, Radhika Apte proved that she isn’t the one to beat round the bush while speaking something on a issue. Radhika is presently riding high with back to back successes in Hindi and Marathi. After her recent male chauvinist comments on Tollywood, Radhika is now firing on the gender inequalities regarding payment in Bollywood.

When female-centric movies are able to enter 100 crore club and making huge money on the name of the actresses like Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra, she thinks equal pay for equal work is their right. She questions on why actresses, whether lead actresses or character actresses are paid less than their male counterparts for the same kind of work.
This kind of attitude is reflecting in the recent statements of top actresses like Kangana Ranaut who opined that she got paid for one role in ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, while she did double work for two characters. Radhia raising her voice against disparity is certainly an indication that actresses who can make female-centric films work on their names aren’t going to keep quiet hereafter.
