Several female actresses have been talking about how they are being paid lesser than their male co-stars and that it’s not fair. However, Salman Khan in an interview says that there are male stars too who are getting lesser than their female colleagues! According to him it all boils down to who is pulling people in the theatres. “If a female star is getting those many people and the producer is making money, the exhibitor and distributor are all making money, then obviously they (female actors) will get that much money, but if it’s a male star, then he will get it. There are so many male stars who get a lot less than many female stars — there are male stars in the Rs 1 to 3 crore bracket, and there are lots of female stars in the Rs 5 to 7 crore bracket ... that’s also there, right? Uske baare mein koi kyun nahi bolta? So this whole female ­stars-male stars debate is bulls**t. Whoever is selling, and as much he or she is selling, will get that much.” Point noted.
