In a recent interview to BollywoodLife.com, Big B revealed that Deepika Padukone was paid more than him for Shoojit Sircar's 2015 sleeper hit Piku. The modest comment by the once 'angry young man' comes at a time when Deepika has been declared the highest paid actress in India and has recently secured a spot in the Forbes list of the top 10 highest paid female actors in the world. With this humble confession, Big B has also dismissed all reports of a fallout between him and his on screen daughter Deepika who forgot to invite him for Piku's success bash. Big B's comment is likely to have some positive impact for the female actors as it comes at a time when much has been spoken about the pay disparity in Bollywood. Amidst all this, Deepika has allegedly signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next Padmavati for a whopping 12 crore making one thing crystal clear, Deepika is the new Shahenshah as far as moolah goes!
