Gender disparity in salary will remain but roles getting better: Bipasha Basu Mumbai: Actress Bipasha Basu says the remuneration disparity between actors and actresses will not change but she also clarified that she doesn't lose sleep over this anymore.

"Remuneration disparity is not going to change much," Bipasha, who has been active in the Hindi film industry since 2001, told.

"It's definitely going to remain the same because the kind of box office (draw) Salman Khan does, may be a Katrina Kaif won't achieve that alone. It's just normal infrastructure and business, so I am not really crying about it," she added.

But at the same time she feels in terms of roles, the situation is getting better for the actresses.

"I believe we are going to get a lot of space in the industry, and women would get to play a lot more roles. I think it's going to change and at every age a woman would get an interesting role to play," said the 35-year-old who is right now looking forward to her next release Creature 3D.

"Now the actress is not just 'arm candy' which sings and dances. It's getting better," she said and added that some of the recent women centric films were good.
