Kareena Kapoor breaks silence on rumours of demanding Rs 12 crore for Sita

Kareena Kapoor has reacted to rumours of demanding Rs 12 crore for the role of Sita. She will be next seen in Laal Singh Chaddha.

A couple of months ago, Kareena Kapoor was rumoured to play Sita in an adaption of the Hindu mythological epic, Ramayan. For the film, it was reported that Kareena had hiked her fee from Rs 6-7 crore to Rs 12 crore. After a media report suggested the same, the rumour spread like a wildfire on the internet. Even though Kareena didn't give out a statement, the actress was heavily trolled on social media. Now, the actress has finally broken silence on rumours of demanding Rs 12 crore for the role of Sita.

In an interview with Zoom TV, Kareena Kapoor was asked about Ramayan and how the topic of pay disparity was turned into something else.

To which, the actress said, "The reason I never gave an explanation is because I was never offered that film. I don't even know why I was put into that because I wasn't the choice for the film. These all are made-up stories and I don't want to put anybody down because maybe even they need stories. Every day people are looking for some sort of stories on Instagram but I don't know where it came from."

Meanwhile, Kareena is currently gearing up for the release of Laal Singh Chaddha. The actress will be seen alongside Aamir Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya. The film is the Indian adaption of Tom Hanks' Hollywood film, Forrest Gump. Laal Singh Chaddha is directed by Advait Chandan and is scheduled to release on August 11, 2022.
