Stars who spoke out against sexism

Priyanka Chopra

Globally acclaimed actress Priyanka Chopra set an example for all women who face sexism in their daily life by smacking down a pregnancy clause in her contract with a corporation.

Priyanka Chopra reveals about that bizarre contract during an interview with Barkha Dutt. “I was signing a contract for a big corporation a couple of years ago, and a clause there said that they (the corporation) could terminate it (the contract) if I got pregnant.I was livid. How could you tell me I could not get pregnant.. Not sick.. not overweight.. just pregnant!”

Priyanka said, “Their logic was that I would not be able to deliver the project on time. I was fine with working when I am pregnant. We had a big argument over it. I said ‘Alright, if I can’t deliver when I am pregnant, you have the right to terminate my contract. If I can deliver, and you don’t want me to, then I have the right to terminate.”

Anuskha Sharma

She raised her voice against the remuneration gap in Bollywood amongst the actors and actresses. “If there is an actor at the same stature as me, who would be able to bring in only that much money to a movie, he would still be paid more than me because he is a guy. Nobody is even thinking about it. It is just ingrained,” the 'Sultan' actress said during an interview.

Kangana Ranaut

National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut says sexism lies not only in the film industry but in the movie scripts too. "We do not have lovable ambitious characters when it comes to women. When a man does that, he's called a maverick, multi-faceted and saviour but when a woman does that she becomes ruthless. Selfish is the word given to them".

Alia Bhatt

The ‘Udta Punjab’ actress Alia Bhatt spoke out against slut-shaming heaped on Indian actresses when they date multiple men.

Alia said, “Here, girls having multiple boyfriends is still a huge-ass deal and something that is frowned upon. I mean, look at Taylor Swift. She’s dated, like, everybody. But if she was here, she’d be totally shamed for making those choices. Her image and appeal would be very different. The reason actresses don’t talk about their private lives is because in our society there is a lot of slut-shaming.”

Kareena Kapoor

The ‘Heroine’ actress Kareena Kapoor Khan was disappointed by certain section of the media due to out of proportion coverage of her pregnancy.

She said, "I’m pregnant, not a corpse. And what maternity break? It’s the most normal thing on earth to produce a child. It is high time the media back off, and stop treating me any different than I ever was. Anybody who is bothered shouldn’t work with me... but my work goes on as is, like always. Stop making it a national casualty. We are in 2016, not in the 1800s."

Sania Mirza

Tennis sensation Sania Mirza gave a perfect reply to a senior journalist over a sexist question. The journalist asked her about raising a family.
