Anil Kapoor leaves Kareena Kapoor speechless on her chat show

Actor Anil Kapoor, along with director Anurag Kashyap, had appeared on Kareena Kapoor Khan's chat show What Women Want Season 3, wherein they spoke about gender equality at work. During her interaction with Anil, Kareena asked him about his take on the persisting wage gap between male and female actors in Bollywood. Sharing an example of Hollywood actors who have taken a stand to associate themselves with projects only when their female co-stars received equal pay, Bebo asked her Bewafaa co-actor whether Bollywood actors should also do the same. However, Anil's response to Kareena Kapoor's salary left the latter in splits.

The Malang actor left Kareena stumped as he instantly responded saying, "You toh took a lot of money from me". However, Kareena replied saying, "See, we are breaking barriers, we are doing that. But like you said, there are still some people". Later,  Anil also went on to narrate an incident when the producers called him up during negotiations with Kareena for Veere Di Wedding. Quoting his co-producers, he said, "'Yaar, yeh toh hero se zyada paise maang rahi hai'. Maine bola, 'De do'". The 64-year-old added, "They were calling me when the negotiations were on. I said, 'Bebo jo maangegi, de do'".
