Sonam Kapoor addressed the issue of gender pay disparity in the film industry by stating that female actors need to collectively take a stand against the concern, instead of pulling each other down. Talking about the tendency of losing out on projects to other actors over monetary offerings, Kapoor said, "I know what my box office numbers are, I know what I deserve... But, there's too much competition. If I say, 'I am not going to do this [for such a small pay],' I am taking a stand. But then, there will be another woman who will say, 'It's okay, I'll do it for this much.' The point is, we need to stick together. That won't happen if you're constantly pulling each other down."
