I noticed a popular post regarding the income disparity between men and women this morning. The salary disparity between men and women who work is the gender wage gap. Women are usually seen to be underpaid compared to males.

However, the status quo seems to be shifting. B-town divas are on parity with their male counterparts, whether it be action stunts, celebrities, or the amount of money they demand every film. I hope that occurs in the business sphere, not only in India but also globally.

According to reports, these are the highest-paid Indian actresses in 2021, ranked by salary per project:
