MUMBAI: Tejasswi Prakash’s career graph is on a rise. After emerging as the winner of Bigg Boss 15, the actress bagged Ekta Kapoor’s Naagin 6 and has been entertaining her audience ever since the first episode aired. Although the entertainment industry is growing, women are still paid less than male actors. However, the actresses are now changing this trend and aren’t shying away from asking for equal pay from the production houses.

Tejasswi Prakash has opened up on the pay disparity in the entertainment industry and has shared an unpopular opinion on the same. The actress has done some amazing work including shows like Swarigini and Pehredaar Piya Ki.

She said, “From my personal experience, whatever work I’ve done so far, whichever daily soap I’ve done touchwood I’ve been paid more than the lead actor. I feel it changes according to how better you are at your job.”

Tejasswi added, “If you’re good at your job they will pay you whatever it takes to get you on board. Like in my case I’ve had heroes, co-actors all my life since I started working. Every show that I’ve done except for two shows I’ve done eight or nine in total, I was paid more than the hero. That’s because they wanted me. I don’t think you can blame the system saying he’s being paid more only because he’s a guy, no.”

On the personal front, Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra found love on Bigg Boss 15 and even spoke up openly about their relationship. They had been through numerous ups and downs in the show but stayed strong with each other.
