During an interview with Lehren Retro, Akashdeep Sabir and his wife Sheeba opened up about pay parity in the industry. They stated that a film like Pushpa 2 was hit because of Allu Arjun’s pull. Taking a dig at Kareena Kapoor he said. “This is why Kareena, with a price tag (fee) of Rs 21 crore couldn’t afford a watchman outside her house. When you will pay them Rs 100 crore, maybe then they can afford security or a driver at night.” He then laughed and muttered the word auto.
Recalling their first meet, the director said that he met Kareena when she was a baby and even fought on TV debates for Saif Ali Khan and her. He also said that he produced and directed her sister Karisma Kapoor on Sahara and that the Crew actor was just a child back then. He added that even though the couple was dignified, he never had answers for questions on debates which were – Why wasn’t there a security guard outside the house and why didn’t they have a full-time driver at night.
Contradicting him, his wife Sheeba put forth that most houses in Mumbai don’t have the space to keep the staff overnight. To this he replied saying that the media should let them recover and rest as they’ve been through a lot.
