Kajol has been fearless in deciding the course of her career without worrying about the consequences of her actions or taking her gender into consideration. The actor has now said pay parity is essential but should be decided by box office success and not gender.
"The debate on pay parity is a thought which has been put out. The pay should be according to genre, how the box office is and box office success," Kajol said recently. "Pay equality is coming up to par. To call it a 'trend' would be a strange as it is something that should be a natural fact of life," she added.

Kajol made her Hindi film debut with Bekhudi in 1992 and soon became known as the most natural female actors of the 1990s. She was always clear what type of roles she wanted to do, genres she wanted to explore and confident about taking a break to enjoy family time.
"I keep taking a break. Every year, I take a break. It is very important for my health. I cannot sum it all up in just one or two sentences. But it has been a long and fruitful journey. I am thankful for everything that God has blessed me with," added the superstar.
Looking back at her journey, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai star said, "I have done what I thought was right. Some of it has paid off and some were mistakes. No, I would not call it a mistake, but a learning experience. And I don't regret one bit of it or any aspect of it."
