We are trained to see men as heroes: Aamir on pay gap in films

Entertainment, Pollywood

New Delhi: Superstar Aamir Khan today acknowledged the gender pay gap in Bollywood, saying the difference in the paycheck results from the patriarchal mindset of society, which does not see women as heroes.

The 52-year-old actor, who has been the star of some of the biggest money-spinners in Bollywood, said he "strongly believes" in equality but the change will happen only if there is a paradigm shift in society's attitude.
