In an exclusive interview with Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist with host Siddhaarth Aalambayan, Reem Shaikh talked about facing pay disparity in the television industry.

Like, a male actor who has just started his career two years ago still gets more money than me.” Hearing her revelation shocked the host. In response, she said, “I was very shocked that just because he is a man he is getting more money. Not that its my arrogance or something but I have worked in the industry for 15 years. Technically, that show was the man’s first show so it got stuck in my mind. Like, how is that possible?.”
