    The #MeToo movement gained momentum in India last year with women calling out actors, filmmakers, comedians, authors and journalists.

    When asked what were the things she liked or hated about the decade, Radhika said, “The #MeToo movement came and went. It is disappointing. A lot of things that should’ve changed, have not changed. A lot of things have not come out, have not changed. That’s really disappointing,” 

    The actor said another issue which still hasn’t changed, is that of pay disparity. “There’s no pay parity at all. We don’t need to talk about pay parity like ‘should this A-list actress get a few more crores than a male A-list actor.’ It’s not just that. If an A-list actor is getting you that sure shot three crore of money, he should be getting paid more money, talking in broader strokes.

    “But apart from the A-lister, the rest of the cast and crew is also made up of men and women. We don’t have parity there. There’s no excuse to not have parity there. They don’t affect your box office at all,” 

    she shared during an interaction.
