was asked if he has a problem with the payscale in the Hindi film industry.
"Mujhe lagta hai itna zyada jo mil raha hai nahin milna chahiye, problem wo hai. Mujhe lag raha hai payscale itna ooncha ho gaya hai ki it has put a line between A and B (I feel that what is being received is so much more than what should be received; that is the problem. I feel that the payscale has become so high that it has put a line between A and B)," Arshad said.
"Kuch actors hain jo bahot paisa kama rahe hain, aur unko compensate karne ke liye baaki ke log suffer kar rahe hain (There are some actors who are making a lot of money, and to compensate them others are suffering)," he added.
