This makes Deepika the highest paid actress of recent times in Bollywood. Dippy who is currently the most sought out actress in Bollywood, after delivering five back-to-back hits, had signed Bajirao Mastani without even discussing monetary issues with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She chose Bhansali's film over Karan Johar's Shuddhi, as she wanted to be loyal to the man who cast her in Goliyon Ki Raasleela- Ram Leela. Her role in the film fetched her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Now her contemporaries such as Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha and Sonam Kapoor have to up their game or be left behind.
