It's 2025, and women across several industries are still grappling with pay disparity. Lately, we have seen many renowned actresses addressing this issue publicly.

Now, on Friday, at a special session hosted by the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) 2025 in Jaipur, Madhuri Dixit Nene shared her take on it, accepting that pay disparity has long existed.

" Well, I think for the women, they have to prove themselves time and again and to say that we're equal, we can draw an audience, we can do that, but we have to prove it every single time. And yes, there is still a disparity...We are still a long way from actually when disparity not happening, but I think we have a long way to go, and we have to kind of work every day towards that," Madhuri said.

Madhuri shared her views during an insightful conversation with IIFA's Vice President, Noreen Khan. Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga was a also a part of International Women's Day event: "The Journey of Women in Cinema."

The leading ladies of Indian cinema also delved into their remarkable journeys, the evolving role of women in cinema, and the obstacles they navigated in shaping the industry. (ANI)
