Chitrangda Singh on Pay Parity and Age in Bollywood: ‘Change Takes Time, But It’s Happening’
Mumbai– Actress Chitrangda Singh has weighed in on two evolving conversations in the film industry: pay parity and the expanding roles for women over 40.
In a recent interview, the Housefull 5 star acknowledged that while Bollywood is still catching up, noticeable progress is underway. “A lot has changed gradually, and real change takes time,” she said, pointing to actors like Rani Mukerji, Vidya Balan, Kriti Sanon, and Tabu for redefining the types of roles written for women.
Commenting on equal pay, Chitrangda noted that compensation is increasingly tied to an actor’s box office draw. “Whoever is pulling audiences to the theatre is being paid proportionately, I suppose,” she added.
Addressing the availability of roles for actresses over 40, she said the landscape is shifting. “There is a lot more being written for mature women. Look at Kareena Kapoor—she’s doing some of the most interesting work right now.”
Chitrangda emphasized that the variety of work is expanding rather than shrinking. “It’s not about more or less, it’s just different. A 20-year-old can’t play a 40-year-old, and vice versa.”
Most recently, Chitrangda appeared in Housefull 5, the latest installment of the hit comedy franchise, which released on June 6. The film features a star-studded ensemble including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonam Bajwa, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, and Fardeen Khan.
