Sonam stated, “Honestly, we have something called as a market price in our country. If I open a film on certain amount it doesn’t make sense for the producer to pay me as much as he is paying the lead actor of that category.” The Dolly Ki Dolly actress went further and compared herself to ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor saying that if the Roy actor opens at the box-office on a higher rate than her then their wages will also differ.

According to Sonam Kapoor the matter of wage given to an artist is simple mathematics. “I feel at least in the film industry I will get paid the price that I ask for if the returns are what is expected. The brands that I am associated know what my market price is. So it’s what I bring back to the brand,” the 29-year-old actress stated. Sonam further added, “I know a lot of male actors who don’t earn as much as I do. Hopefully when my market grows, so will my price.” Seems like Sonam Kapoor has got all the wisdom and knowledge from her father Anil Kapoor’s experience.
Sonam Kapoor is currently working with Salman Khan for her upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
