Kriti Sanon thinks it is unfair that the leading men are more often than not given the entire credit for the success of a film. Her last release, Laxman Utekar's Luka Chuppi, was a hit at the box office but it was Kartik Aaryan who was lauded for bringing the audience to the theatres.

When a newspaper asked Kriti about the same, she said, "This business of overlooking the leading lady has been going on for a while and it's so unfair. I am glad this conversation is finally happening."

"It's logical to talk about only the male protagonist when the leading lady doesn't have a lot to do, but when they are both carrying a film on their shoulders, the credit should be equally shared. Everybody deserves a mention," she added.

Luka Chuppi revolves around Guddu Shukla (Kartik Aaryan) and Rashmi Tiwari (Kriti Sanon) who decide to explore a live-in relationship. The romantic comedy garnered over Rs 92.05 crore at the domestic box office by the end of its fifth weekend.

Kriti also talked about the gender pay disparity in Bollywood and said that there have been cases in which actresses have received a bigger paycheck than their male counterparts.

"Remuneration should be in sync with two things - your role in the film and your capacity to pull in the audience. There have been instances in the past when actresses have been paid more than their hero. For me, money is important, but never the reason to do a film. The script, my character and the crew are the key considerations," she said.
