Priyanka Chopra Jonas says she achieved pay parity with a male co-star for the first time in her upcoming spy series ‘Citadel’ for Amazon Prime Video.

“I’ve never had pay parity in Bollywood. I’ve done 60-something movies, I think, but I’ve never got paid the same amount as my male co-actor,” Chopra Jonas said in an interview with BBC.
“I would get paid about 10% of my male co-actor,” she said. The Indian and South Asian star found a place in Hollywood in 2015 on the ABC series ‘Quantico.’
“My generation of female actors have definitely asked [for equal pay]. We’ve asked, but we’ve not got it,” she said.
