Tabu reacts strongly on being asked about pay parity: ‘Why don't you ask the male actor why you are getting paid more'

Tabu is tired of hearing the same questions around the subject of pay parity in the film industry being directed at the female actors. The actor, who was in conversation with We Are Yuvaa during the promotional rounds of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, said that the same question should be thrown at the people who are paying the male actors more. 

What Tabu said

During the conversation, Tabu said, “Every media person will ask a female about pay parity. Every journalist will ask only the woman, 'You know a man is paid more, you are paid less. So why are you asking me? Why don't you ask the person who is paying them more? How am I supposed to answer this question?' Unless you just want to sensationalize the quote by saying, 'I hate it that I'm being paid less,' that's all. I can either say that or I can say that, 'I'm okay with what I'm being paid.' Why don't you ask the male actor why you are getting paid more?”

She went on to add, "That will be an interesting perspective. This whole beauty perspective, I feel is more interesting when there is an outside lens to it. Beauty or physicality is always in the context on the lens that is on it."
