Kareena Kapoor Khan breaks silence on fee hike
In an interview with Zoom TV, Kareena Kapoor Khan was asked about Ramayan and how the topic of pay disparity was turned into something else. Replying to this the actress revealed that the reason why she never offered an explanation was because she was never offered that film. She further added, “I don’t even know why I was put into that because I wasn’t the choice for the film. These all are made-up stories and I don’t want to put anybody down because maybe even they need stories. Every day people are looking for some sort of stories on Instagram but I don’t know where it came from.”
