Exclusive: Suchitra Krishnamoorthi Reveals She And Shah Rukh Got Paid The Same For Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. Guess Kitna?
We're happy for her!
Even though actresses are getting paid a lot more than are were in the olden times but we still have not reached the stage where they are paid as much as the male stars are. There is still a huge gap in the remuneration between the actor and the actress’ pay. Many have even opened up about the pay parity and how obviously unfair it is to them but there is still no major change yet. In an exclusive interview with us, singer, songwriter and actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi revealed a surprising thing about the time she worked with Shah Rukh Khan on the film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, and it was how they both were paid the same. Can you guess the amount?

We asked Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, who played the female lead of Anna in the 1994 film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, which memory from sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan made her smile even today. And to this, she replied and said, “That we got paid the same remuneration.” She also went on to reveal the amount which was Rs 25,000!
Isn’t this such a cool thing? So, why has the industry not kept up with this practice and continued to pay the actresses the same as the male stars? The latest example is the huge pay gap between Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan’s pay for their upcoming film Satyaprem Ki Katha. If reports are to be believed, the actress’ fee for the film is Rs 4 crores and Aaryan has charged Rs 25 crores!

We are glad Suchitra Krishnamoorthi got equal pay, and hope she continues to get so. On the work front, she has dropped a new song titled Shararat which is a beautiful ghazal pop track. and it is so different from all the peppy pop songs she has crooned!
