In the entertainment industry, the gender pay gap appears to be significantly larger. The actresses have always been frustrated by the unfair treatment that they have received at the hands of a male-dominated film industry. Samantha Akkineni is one of the most loved South Indian stars who is widely followed on social media as well. She made her debut in Gautham Menon’ romantic movie, ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’, which landed her the Filmfare Award for Best Debut Actress and the Nandi Award that year. She too has featured in several big hits and has been a recipient of many honors. Recently during the media interaction, Samantha Akkineni opened up about the wage gaps in the film industry. It is known news that men get paid far more than women in this film industry.
Rangasthalam lady Samantha said, “ Even if you are one of the top three heroines, your pay is much lesser compared to that of a hero who is not even in top 20. If an actress asked for a pay hike, she is looked at as being problematic. But if an actor asked for a pay hike, he’s seen as being cool.”
On the work front, Samantha will be seen in Web drama The family man 2.
