*Coughs* pay disparity *Coughs*
Varun Dhawan has featured in 10 films in his seven-year-old career - all of which have been successful at the box office. Yes, all were not superhits but all of Varun's films have fared decently at the ticket window (including Dilwale and Dishoom). Katrina Kaif has made twice the number of films Varun has starred in, some of which were extremely successful while others proved to be a damp squib at the box office. Her last film was Tiger Zinda Hai (opposite Salman Khan), which earned over Rs 300 crore at the Indian box office alone.
As for the pay disparity, several Bollywood actresses are challenging it by picking niche roles. For example, Deepika Padukone was paid more than Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in "Padmaavat" and more than Amitabh Bachchan in Piku.
Actors such as Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor and Kalki Koechlin have also raised their voices against pay disparity in Bollywood time and again.
