Reacting to the unconfirmed reports alleging that she asked for Rs 12 crore for playing Sita in the recreation of the Hindu epic Ramayana, she said, “Just a few years ago, no one would talk about a man or woman actually getting equal pay in a movie. Now, there are a lot of us being very vocal about it.”. The speculations invited trolls for Kareena and many accused her of being greedy. “I make it quite clear what I want and I think that respect should be given” she added. Kareena also stated that her request was not about being ‘demanding’, but rather asking for “being respectful towards women.” Also Read – Happy Ganesh Chaturthi: Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Taimur Worship Ganpati in New Home – Photos
