Frankly, I cringe whenever the narrative of feminism is forcibly inserted into remuneration issues. If Katrina can bring in 300 crores for a film solely on her name like the Khans, Akki, Ajay, Ranbir, etc, then yes, she deserves to charge as much as any of them. For eg. Deepika was paid more than Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan for Piku. Vidya Balan was paid more than her co-stars in The Dirty Picture. So it's all about the perception.
Also if male and female leads have same amount of screen time then they should get paid equally. Female leads in most films hardly have 20-30 minutes of screen time still get expected to get paid as much as male leads.
The best thing about dhanush interview is when asked by a fan at a press meet of the film he said that the channel people asked him to remove mike and walkoff so that they can promote the interview and attract audience attention. 😄😄
One thing I realized about South stars, seeing the interview clips of Dhanush and Rana Daggubati is that while they are a very humble lot, they also know where to put their foot down in the face of abject stupidity on display.

It was really impressive to hear Aamir khan talk about the pay gap from this point of view without mincing his words. It was humble but realistic at the same time. A person might not have given this answer when two actresses were sitting right beside them but I guess this side of the pay gap won't have been brought up that well without being completely honest.
@@raja-jl9os Nahi hai. It's the same thing in any Entertainment Business. If you are a 'Star' then you will be paid more than your co-star irrespective of gender. It's a Profit driven industry and while it might feel 'emotionless' at times, it's the closest to Non-Discrimination as your Skin color, Gender, Ethnicity or Country of origin doesn't matter. If you can make money, you will be paid more. Simple as that.
@@TriedRefusedProductions a part of this disparancy originates from percieving female "lead" as a mere sidekick with a good skin to glance at with no real value as oppose to male lead. And It would take decades to even narrow the gap let alone equal but I guess that's capitalism at its best.
@@dayadarwazatoddo5921 and it seems like you haven't watched full interview or avoided his second question while she was answering but he had added in the middle while asking first stupid question. That's why she had to cut her first answer but answered two question's mixed answer.
Letterman is one of the best late night talk show host. He is right there at the top with Johny Carson and dick cavett. It's an insult to compare him with mr prabhu chawla
I watched an interview of Sushant and Sara'for Kedarnath where the host (Komal Nahta) deliberately ignores Sushant and directs all the questions to Sara. He asks only one or two questions from him. It was worse at the trailer launch. All the journalists are asking questions from the director and Sara, for a whole 30 mins they only ask him if he is a Shiv bhakt, and what he thinks of Sara. That was really uncomfortable to watch
You do realize these videos are edited, to reflect content the creators think we, the audience, would like to watch, right? Back then, we were all in the throes of SaraMania, that is why the interviews were edited in that way. All these SSR warriors came to be after his death- how many comments did we hear, or read, when that happened, about how Sara was being given all the attention? Not many. But after he died? Almost every comment was about how he was sidelined because of a "Nepo-kid". No-WE are to blame, for our obsession with star kids, not just the media.

South vs north divide is huge. I was in a Telegram study group , and students were speaking all the time in hindi , and me and my Telugu buddies started conversing in Telugu , northies attacked us, mocked us, we had to leave the group. And the admin of the group messaged me "Why did you and your friends leave the group? they were jus scared you were abusing them in Telugu. Will you leave India also if this happens to you in real world" I was like 😑😑😑
Believe me both are toxic..many times south also make fun of North and north also do the same... Btw I'm not from south or north.... And this kind of division is everywhere around the world and in every country .... But it's good you left that group , bcz these kind of people who hating on someone are pathetic unfortunately and the admin is an assholes, you should answer him that what is happens with him or his family??

If Vidya Balan or Kangana or Taapsee are carrying a film entirely on their shoulders and raking in the moolah on the strength of their own name, they deserve all the pay raises they demand. But those actresses who are content playing eye candy in 10-15 minute roles opposite 50 plus humongous stars have absolutely no right to whine about the same.
But audiences generally show hesitation to watch a film if it's a female lead. There are many movies which were female lead and outstanding but didn't make even make half of the money that commercial male lead movies make.
The wire journalist, Arfa Khanum sherwani is one of the most vicious journalist of Indian digital media. She has a habit of adding communalism in every news. Great that Manoj tackled her illogical arguments very well.
@@skunky_fink it wasn't an illogical question at all, and the comparison made by mr manoj bajpai was not correct, because mughl e azam was a love fiction drama film which doesn't effect characters of story and he story was about internal differences of family, and dialogues were very balanced, But in padmawat it was clear to make khilji a demon, and everyone knows that was not 100% true, in india you can be an intellectual untill and unless you are not debating about an muslim character because at that point if you didn't fully demonise him , then you are a mulla or librandu or maybe anti national 🙏

I see many more awkward interviews with celebs in the future, with all the news and rumours regarding the film industry. All the best to you Jammy for compiling all those interviews! Much love from Mumbai ❤️
@@dayadarwazatoddo5921 how is feminism destroyed here. it was just about market value about stars. just like how in some films actresses bring in more money just like that in some films actors bring in more money. in that film amir was paid more in mardaani rani was paid more. simple
I mean I understand Aamir Khan's point and it isn't the movie production companies to be blamed for the pay gap, but I do feel the reason that male actors do bring in so much more audiences and have a bigger fanbase than their female counterparts is because, the roles given to women are mostly for the eye candy and to fill in for the love interest, and they have much less staying power because after their 30s they're relegated to the side role of mom, and that men are still centered in a lot of movies. So I feel that while it wouldnt be fair to ask the industry to pay the one-song-two-scenes role actresses play the same as the centre-of-the-movie actor's role, we do need to work on bringing more relevant and complex roles for women in these movies. Like if you're going to bring in a female character, give her a proper role and significance to the plot. Yes there are female centered movies, but they are still a minority compared to the vast majority of movies being made.
Yes.... heroines are always portrayed as hero's male interests....I liked mardaani 2 more as compared to simbha, singham, dabang...I believe Rani mukherjee is the most badass cop as compared to all these other heroes ...still she isn't paid more because indian audience only want to see heroines doing item no. But not as the main lead....and hence it's our responsibility to choose quality content and do justice
And also, what Amir khan said may be true for lead actors and actresses. I agree they pull the crowd. But I see there is a clear pay gap between male and female character artists, and it is the real problem IMO.
@@khushbukapoor597 dude but things have changed now go and see gully boy and bala both are male centric films but still there are important roles for women as well they are not just doing iteam numbers or eye candy roles
I would like to object you regarding your stand in pay disparity. What amir khan said was absolutely true. Male actors can pull a larger audience than women. But how? Over the years the audience have been conditioned into seeing films solely owned by the male actors and females just been a supporting cast to the hero of the movie. No khan or kapoor had acquired the kind of stardom that they have now within the release of their first film. Even for aamir khan looking at his career his most successful movies came in the 90's (he had his hero debut in the 80's). The best stories are always written for the males and out of a 100movies releasing in a year only 10or 20 are movies about female characters. What i am trying here to convey is that. Underneath all the factors the main culprit is sexism and gender inequality! Our society have been worshipping the male actors because the kind of movies that they act in. When you look at the career graph of deepika padukone or kareena kapoor or kangana raunaut they have done only a few films led by their characters. It would take quite a long time for actors in general to achieve a large audience and to have that stardom or market pull. So we cannot just brush aside pay disparity saying that male actors or khans are able to pull a larger audience than fellow actresses. Its bcs of the existence of sexism in the movie industry for a long tjme.
Completely agree that its because of pre-existing sexism in the movie industry. Lets take example of Rajesh Khanna. He was a huge superstar in his era even though ,this might be controversial opinion , he was pretty average actor in terms of acting range . But he was hearthrob of indian women at that time. they made him famous just because of his looks and charm. Majority of his fans were female. And since he was registering hits on regular basis because of his humongous female fanbase, producers were opting for movies which will have him in lead role. This cycle was not created by actors it was created by us , the audience. Its fault of audience that they focus only on looks and charms rather than acting skills of actors. Same thing happened with all Khans, a problematic movie like DDLJ is still fav of many women and since no one questions it , men who already are priviliged and deep rooted in sexism and misogyny thinks that women like such men. My whole point was that its not only because of men but women too are equally responsible in making these male actors the superstars that they are today.
Its more of a social problem,Male actors are not the culprit here,theyre just trying to do their job just like everybody else.I can make the same argument for success of women through OnlyFans and the conditioning of women and men throughout time being a factor in pay diaparity.but you dont seem to bring that up.Convinient feminism huh?
@@frogloki882You can make the same argument for the success of women on onlyFans? That's absolute bs and how is that even convenient feminism? The only reason why OnlyFans exist is because the market existed for decades before that. Men are always at the ready to buy women or buy favors from them because to them that's all women are for. That's part of patriarchy. The consumption of women's bodies as a product for men, that's patriarchy, gas lighting society into accepting that's what women want, that's patriarchy. Sure, go ahead make the argument of conditioning of men and women and the pay disparity on onlyFans, let's see how well that bodes for you. Its going to backfire tremendously.
aamir's response was a perfect one but what he also did was completely dismiss the notion that pay parity does exist in the industry. Of course an actress wont be paid more if she has minimal screen time but an actress isnt paid even *equal* even if she has the same screen time except maybe if its an established leading lady like Deepika,etc. You should check out an interview of Anushka talking about it. She mentions how everything from the hotel rooms of actresses are smaller than the ones of the Male co star
Exactly. If actresses are not being able to attract more crowds it is because they are not given the equal choice or reception. Audiences have been conditioned into liking these handful of 'SUPERSTARS' forever...It's not a one day thing, its a systematic process of establishing hierarchy over the market since years. Which is more than often done through money, politics, power, tons of fan clubs etc... These men were not born superstars. The ones who actually made their mark through sheer talent are valid and justified but we rarely see them earning as much as the Khans and other huge names, its the growth of OTT and a more conscious audience which has brought at least some value to them.. and the way in which Amir spoke reeked of the high handedness male celebrities have come to acquire, this god like position they've assumed which when questioned generates a money oriented answer conveniently sidelining the root causes and ethics of the industry. I really do admire Aamir and his work but the way he answered that was pretty rude.
I don't agree... Actresses for the same screen time are not paid equally as their male counterparts cause they cannot attract audiences.. The opposite happens when a big star like deepika performs with a less known actor
Omg I was there when the Esha Deol and Hema Malini interview happened, the poor moderator was not allowed to moderate for the remaining days of fashion week...this is just a small snippet, it was not the moderator's fault. She was doing her job as told by organisers as everything was running super late.
Thats the not the way to behave....she can say it in small tone,not on mike.....that's pure arrogance...she is no way suited for a moderator job...moderate
Am I the only one who felt that in Rana Daggubati's interview with scoop-woop, the body language of this interviewer was downright arrogant and offensive? The way she sits, her gestures, the way she frames her questions, it was definitely not casual or comforting. There is a way to conduct yourself, please.
One needs so much patience to be a celebrity, I would have legit rolled my eyes and told many of these "journalists" to stop asking stupid questions.:D
You should also include how krishanan kept asking Robert Downey junior about his past and jail history when he was there to promote his film, and RDJ walked out like a boss 😎
I appreciate your content a lot, Jammy. But would like to point out a small nuance here. The point on pay parity has much more depth than what has been portrayed in this segment. We live in a patriarchal society which is by default inclined towards one gender. In such a scenario, asking valid questions about equality cannot be labelled as 'awkward' or 'unnecessary'. It's good that the actor has brought out a critical factor in response, but shouldn't these discussions happen in order to be informed about these things? I don't think we should be problematising the posing of such questions. Why is it such a big deal if questioning thousands of years of patriarchy makes you a bit uncomfortable? It is a symbol that we as a society have started asking pertinent questions. It need not be seen putting a privileged individual in a spot. Sure, your video is on awkward celebrity interviews, so you can't delve into the topic of sexism or pay parity too much, but a little more context would've been useful. Like 'this is one major factor but the issue of pay parity has several other aspects rooted in the patriarchal nature of the society...' Is it not true that the masses find it difficult to accommodate the idea of a female as a 'hero'? Why does the trope of an unrealistically strong character works better for male actors. Rajnikanth, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have thrived on such action movies even if the story line wasn't much impressive. But the same plot doesn't work that well for women like the case of Mardaani and Gangajal 2. Clearly, people don't want to come to theatre to see the feminine heroine do insane action and beating the shit of people. There is definitely a lot of patriarchy underlying 'commercial success' in all fields including cinema, which if not acknowledged, leads to the notion that feminism is misguided. You would be doing a disservice if by way of your content, those sitting on the fence take home the idea that feminism is a vice that questions everything unnecessarily. There is, in fact, a need to question everything, deconstruct and rebuild the society on equal grounds. That cannot assure that everyone will be 'comfortable' at all times. Why should that attempt at that be so threatening?
I think blaming patriarchy for everything is illogical here... If people cannot accept a female in a lead role then why were movies like wonderwoman a success in india?..It all comes down to character buildup and portrayal..Of course the masses easily accept a male actor to be strong even without any character buildup..But that has nothing to do with patriarchy and all to do with biology... If there is a man and a woman and you are told one of them can lift 500 kgs which scenario do you think is easily believable??of course if I tell you that the woman has been powerlifting since 5 yrs then that's a different story...It's all about the portrayal of character that dictates the success of such stories... However the male lead roles don't need such things because basic biology teaches us that men have testosterone that helps them put on muscles that help in performing stunts...Of course there are so many movies and shows with female leads that have done well because it was more relying on plot rather than relying on lead to perform unrealistic stunts...
@kishore hedge really? Does testosterone help one man beat up 20 men at a time? Does biology work like that? I'd like to see it in real life😏 Also, I must remind you of a huge difference between the audience for 'Wonder Woman' and Salman khan movies. Those who watch Wonder Woman are typically the fan base of DC characters, and not just that, it's a specific genre of fantasy superhero world. It is very different from a genre where a 'common man' delivers social justice with his hypermasculinity, fuelled by, as you pointed out, testosterone and a plausible biological logic. Patriarchy's denial to take any blame is itself a problem. Biology only marks the distinction between reproductive functions. It doesn't define abilities of an individual which are multidimensional and are not limited to how much weight one can lift.
@@shreshthasaluja I'm not saying that any man can beat up 20 men..But that's easier to believe that a man did it than believing that a woman did it when there is no background story or character buildup..And biology doesn't just mark distinction in reproductive capabilities but also in physical capabilities.. That is why we have men's and women's category in all the sports and games....If you want to see that difference just go to a nearby gym for a week.. Even a skinny guy will be able to lift more weights than you (assuming you are a girl not on any steroids) and will make progress at a faster rate.. So when there is an unrealistic action sequence people tend choose the one that looks closer to reality...I have seen so many action sequences with female leads garner success when they rely on martial arts flexibility etc..one example would be resident evil movie series.. However in indian movies the director usually likes to realy more on physical strength of lead more than actual use of martial arts to make the scene more realistic.. The same thing when used with female leads who don't even look big enough doesn't work out well.. However in Hollywood they try to make it more acceptable by either setting the story in a different world or showing us that she is a trained assasin etc.. They make such subtle adjustments.. However in bollywood they apply same formula for every action scene.. There is an actress called mala Sri who used to do a lot of action movies in Kannada film industry and were actually sucessful because she actually put on weight and looked like she could beat up goons... This is why I think lean and fit actresses in Bollywood do action sequences of beating 20 goons with brute strength doesn't work out and the same when done by salman works out because he at least looks like he could...
@@shreshthasaluja here is a fact to put into perspective the difference in physical capabilities of men and women a thing of basic biology which you are finding so hard to accept.. The world weightlifting record for men's is 225 kgs and the same for women's is 96kgs which is less than half.. If biology just marks distinction between reproductive capabilities and not ones capacity to lift weights then why is that women's weight lifting record is less than half of what men's record is?..
The question asked to Priyanka Chopra was supposed to be like this - you talk about gender equality but when it comes to violence why it's not an even playing field. Why being a feminist you never raise any question regarding violence by women against men. Why do there exist taboos, fears of misunderstanding, and fears of not being believed or even ridiculed by authorities when victims are men. Why violence against men is treated differently than that committed against women in most societies and the so-called gender equalist never have any problem about it. The poor man couldn't frame the question properly in English & without trying to understand the question she deflected it to another direction. And stupid audience instead of correcting her started giggling and clapping making sure that she was not required to answer the actual burning question.
As a journalist (a serious one - not a filmy one) I agree it’s wrong to bait actors and ask personal viscous questions. Totally unnecessary. But there will be some uncomfortable questions that will crop up - like nepotism for example. I mean that’s a valid question even if it does make some actors uncomfortable right? Or maybe about the importance of attending acting school? Any good journalist should address these issues even if they make stars a little uncomfortable. Yes the media has to be tactful and polite, I’m all about being respectful to a guest, but at the same time you can’t just pander to Bollywood stars.
Pay disparity is not just about leading actors. Neena gupta once pointed out that even in the general cast of the film, male actors get paid more than female ones, for no logical reason (grabbing eyeballs, filling theatres, etc.) It's easy to lose sight of larger picture here if we only compare Aamir & Rani (or Kareena kapoor)
I am really happy that he mentioned Indian film industry and not Bollywood. As a person from kerala I know many talents that has been corned in Kerala because of film industry politics. A lot of people ran with life from bollywood, making a line that let future talents aware not to cross
It's ok to have joker channels like quint, print, scroll, wire etc. They are giving quite a fight against the opposite joker channels like zee, republic. But my only objection against the wire is its name. They really really need to change it. The wire is considered one of the greatest series ever made💖. Plz don't defame them
Lol . All news channels cater to a particular ideology. Be it left or right. U will hardly find any unbiased news channels in digital platforms nowadays. Today's political is quite polarizing between left and right. If u are not part of either of the side , u will get defamed, mocked , bullied etc.
The TV anchors that you have shown are already pretty infamous. Would have been interesting if you would have also shown celebrities giving dumb or cringe replies to genuine and good questions. Almost feels like you are playing safe here. ☺️
The gender pay gap in the film industry does exist but it's only worth talking about when we're talking about male and female actors of the SAME starpower with the SAME amount of lines/ scenes/ importance in character in a movie who are THEN paid differently.
I appreciate RANA DAGGUBATI about telugu cinema and all other cinema industries.. the interviewer must have some basic sense to ask this type of questions..
I feel sometimes that I’m not worthy of film journalism and then I see someone being queer phobic and saying crap like, “So, guys want to be like you and girls wants to be with you.” (Please understand that this line of questioning erases queer fandoms and makes women look inconsequential)
The question which was asked to Priyanka was never answered, rather she answered some random question which was never asked. She is a feminist no doubt, but admit the abuse against men , girl.
The ranna interview amazed me like how patient and humble he was and the anchor was so dumb and arrogant . I hated the anchor behavior and lack of respect toward ranna.
I think simi garewal...is most gracious interviewer I have come across...her celebrity talk show "rezendevous with garewal" is my all time favourite... Jammy you should really give it a try
Thank you for this video' Jammypants4..It's not like The last one of this title..this show's how they tackled the questions well...I have respect for Priyanka Chopra more...i would love to see the dumbness of star kids which are recent though in this title itself..
5:43 i actually quite didn't agree with Priyanka here. The man never said about eve teasing or anything. It was general question that if man slaps a woman (not regularly or something domestic violence) simply just slaps her in rage or by mistake it's an assault but if a woman slaps a man it's just a slap. And she made it into something like a boy Eve teasing and all making a scenario according to her. I actually expected a better reply to her. Coz i really liked the dialogue from her movie Aitraaz that agar ek aadmi aurat ko thappad maarti hai to hum kehte hai kitna zaalim hai aur agar ek aurat aadmi ko thappad maarti hai to hum kehte zaroor aadmi ne kuch Kiya hoga hum har Surat mein aadmi ko hi galat maante hai. Her doing movie like Aitraaz where it shows how Man is not always wrong and Mary Kom where it showed Women are actually physically strong too, I thought her perception would have been different. I am sorry but what she is saying depicts women superiority not gender equality. Real feminist promote gender equality. Feminist sometimes get confused between equality and superiority. And if you want an example take Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case. When Amber accused Jonny of physical abuse many feminist came to stand by her and said nasty things about Johnny even on telivisions and internet without any proof. But when Johnny accused Amber they criticized him more. When he finally showed proof in courts then they stopped but never bothered to apologise to say such things about him. If this is not women superiority in the name of feminism i don't what is. And to think that she is generalising that it's bad for a man to even say something to women but it's okay for women to hit the man is actually what those so called feminist would say which i thought she wasn't
i just feel that Manoj ji is absolutely brilliant as an actor and as a person❤❤❤❤ i also love and just love Rana and with such ease and comfort he shuts her mouth 😀
How many flop movies have these Khans and Kumar type actors did throughout 90s and early 2000s? What explains their longevity? Nothing but a patriarchal society. They became popular by appealing to the cheaper emotions of the masses - glorifying stalking, harassment, law-breaking, and even rape. Now they are doing some kind of quality cinema and they're pretending to be "holier than thou and deserving of a higher pay due to their stardom"? Shame on them and shame on those who get brainwashed by such tone-deaf statements. Amir Khan marketed himself as a thinking actor. People forgot exactly WHEN he started thinking. Shahrukh Khan is King and King of Romance when all his Rahuls and Rajs are the type of characters not even worth one's spit. Salman Khan, one of the worst actors on earth, became a star purely based on PR by the theme "Bad boy with a golden heart - bhai ka dil accha hai" It's so shameful that even "thinker" "analyst" kind of people like Jamie falling for this trope and justifying the gender pay gap in such an insensitive manner.
Arfa is not a cinema journalist, she is a journalist who covers politics more than anything else. So her interview was supposed to be about the political influence of movies and the political influences in moviemaking. She started that interview by mentioning that the social influence of movies, particularly Bajpai's movies, so it will be wrong to say that interview was only for movie promotion and her questions were out of context.
Fashion n tv serials are ruled by women generally and movies are where men bring in the audiences generally n aamir is just being honest n not sugarcoating it….. in piku, deepika was paid more than even big b n irrfan coz she was the commercial driving force..
You know I think that at 9:36 the question asked by the interviewer wasn't awkward infact it was much needed to get a more clear picture on this issue. I actually kinda liked the question asked and the answer given.
The ability to “bring in more business” equating to a higher pay assumes an even playing field for male/ female actors. We all know this is not the case historically in India. A Sridevi pulled in bigger audiences - but never got paid more (or even equal) to the hero - who was/ remains centered as the “star” of the movie. Aamir’s response was quite regressive, while masquerading as simple arithmatic “fact”.
absolutely, quite disappointed with his answer. the 'market' is not some mythical creature, we are the market and we shape it with our choice to disregard female leads and female led movies for (even less good) male led movies
Legit superstars like sridevi n madhuri were paid more than their male counterparts as a matter of fact….aamir just gave an honest reply without being diplomatic n sugarcoating like others….in tv and fashion women are paid more….it comes down to basic economics
So near to 1m subs. congrats....!! i hv been here since arnd 200k, and I am so happy to see you reach so many people, and people actually liking and understanding what you wanna point out! thank u for making people more aware and woke. 🎉
No bro... In telgu industry there are no casting directors, industry is more discplined, but heroines and entire crew is treated less then the main male, plus What aamir said is nothing new and a very insensitive one.... Ppl in india can bear a man of 50 as a college student, men have longer career but same is not with women, so your contacts and you fame increases...bcz you have time to understand, make connections and use more opportunities but for females such opportunities are not there.... In fact very less films are made where actress have the main role.... And the right question would have been why only male actors can bring money and females can't who are equally talented, hard working and good looking....why our industry functions like this...
