Neena Gupta Urges Established Stars To Take The Lead & Raise Their Voice Against Pay Disparity

If there is someone worth taking inspiration from for 'how to begin again?', it's Neena Gupta. One could never doubt her caliber as an actor, but still, she had to face a gap and lull in her career when she wasn't getting offers. Today, tables have turned.

She enjoys working on projects of her own choice and is leading the way for many of her colleagues who feel lost after reaching a certain age.

Neena Gupta has always been unapologetically honest about things she believes in.

"I think if you feel that something is wrong, you must raise your voice. And also, to raise your voice, you have to have standing. When you know that you have reached a particular status quo in your career, so you can ask. Any other actress who has just started, she won't ask now. People who are established who are stars, they will ask, they should ask, why not? They know their value. They know people want to see them, so they ask for it."

The veteran actor who has had a successful share of releases this year is now geared up for releasing the second season of 'Masaba Masaba,' 'Dial 100,' and 'Goodbye .'
