She said that “so many women” in Bollywood “still deal” with not getting paid the same as their costars.
“My generation of female actors have definitely asked [for equal pay]. We’ve asked, but we’ve not got it,” she said.

Chopra Jonas also mentioned that she was body shamed due to her complexion and attributes this to India’s “colonial past,” adding, “It’s not even been 100 years since we shed the British Raj, so we still hold on to it, I think.” She said that it’s up to the current generation to “cut those ties and change.”
