Priyanka Chopra Jonas Said That She Only Had “Pay Parity” Once In 22 Years Of Acting
At a recent panel, Priyanka Chopra Jonas said that she has only received equal pay with a male costar once.
“I’m laughing about this, but it’s kind of nuts,” Priyanka explained. “I put in the same amount of investment and work, but I get paid much less. But the ease in which Amazon Studios said, ‘That’s what you deserve, you are co-leads, that’s just fair,’ and I was like, ‘You’re right, it’s fair.’”
This isn’t the first time Priyanka has discussed equal pay. “I’ve never had pay parity in Bollywood,” Priyanka said back in December. “I would get paid about 10% of the salary of my male co-actor. [The pay gap] is large, substantially large. And so many women still deal with that. I’m sure I will, too, if I worked with a male co-actor now in Bollywood.”
Citadel will debut on Amazon Prime Video on April 28.
