Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan talked about wage difference and female actors getting their due in Bollywood.
In a latest interview, the King of Bollywood said, “It’s a male-dominated industry. You can’t shirk it away or ignore it”. He further added, “I would love it to be different. There should be no disparity. A male actor and a female actor should get the same fees. Why is it different, I don’t know.”

“My name is Khan” actor further added, “But I would also add that no actor male or female should over-estimate their performance. No individual, be it director or actor, should burden the film’s expense by charging an amount that goes beyond the performance of the film’s opening weekend.”
While speaking about working in Hollywood movies, Shahrukh Khan revealed that he has not been offered any project in Hollywood yet, “They have to look at me; I can’t look at them. It started with Om Puriji and now Priyanka, Irrfan and so many others are doing it. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is getting some films. Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) has done some, Anupam Kher too and it’s wonderful,But I have never been offered an opportunity. I don’t even know if I am good enough to do it, I think my English is a little weak,” SRK joked.
The 52 year old actor will be sharing screen-space with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, in the Anand L Rai directorial ‘Zero’. The film is scheduled to release in December 2018.
