“There have been times where I found myself negotiating for the kind of compensation I deserve with people for months and then giving up. Honestly I have never faced gender parity in corporate, but it is very dominant in Bollywood. I understand why a prominent male actor would be paid more —he would get the audience to the theatre, but what about someone who is at the same level as me, but is still paid more just because he is a male actor?”

Meet Sahiba Bali —a powerhouse who effortlessly blends creativity, charisma, and versatility in everything she does. Sahiba Bali is an actor who commands attention on screen, a host who effortlessly connects with audiences, and a marketer whose innovative strategies have made waves. But she’s not stopping there – now, as a teacher, she’s passing on her wealth of knowledge to inspire the next generation.

In this episode, she spoke about everything ‘content’ —what kind of content is India watching, the kind of money influencers are making, what tips should we keep in mind while doing campaigns, her opinion on work life balance and much more.

We also spoke about:
. The ‘Yes Madam’ marketing campaign that went wrong
. Zomato and Deepinder Goyal
. Work Life Balance
. Financial Independence
. Saying ‘No’ to Roles
. Gender Parity
. Corporate job v/s Gender Parity
. Samay Raina and India’s Got latent
. Working with Diljit Dosanjh & Imtiaz Ali
. Payouts of the influencers
