Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who feels “swept off” his feet by women, believes in gender equality. He says people must be given their due according to merit and not on the basis of their gender.
The third edition of the Lux Golden Rose Awards, to be held later this year, has extended its stage to the global movement for gender equality, UN’s HeForShe. The gala will pledge solidarity of male members of the film fraternity with their female counterparts and celebrate their presence and immense contribution.
Shah Rukh, who features in a film wherein he walks down a glorious cinematic lane of iconic Lux divas — from Sharmila Tagore to Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt — has spoken about the pay gap.

“In the past too, I have made my stance on equality of genders clear. I strongly believe dues meted out should be according to merit and not gender. Both genders have their own plus and minus points, though I love the women who make work so beautiful.”
