Well here goes. After being pestered by so many people I have finally decided to re-start my blog. I will try to keep the blog relevant and updated as much as possible.

You built the bridges, you destroyed the forests, you tried to control it all.

Yet when things went wrong, you called it an act of God."

However, it was quite recently that celebrities have actually started talking about it on public platforms. Gender-based wage disparity already existed in other domains and was just replicated in the entertainment industry, as well. In fact, it can be seen as a reflection of the unfair wage-standards of the society on the whole, including that of the corporate world.  A few years back, renowned celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep raised their voices in unison against gender-based wage disparity that exists in Hollywood.
