Mumbai, Sept 8 (IBNS): In a strange revelation, megastar Amitabh Bachhan has said that Deepika Padukone was paid more than him in Piku.

Bachchan, told BollywoodLife: "In Piku, Deepika Padukone was paid more than me. That says two things - one that she is obviously more important than me and two I have lost my price scale because I have been working for so long and maybe I am not that important now to get that kind of money."

The actor won the Best Actor National Award for Piku.

Bachchan played Deepika's father in Piku.

Deepika was recently named the tenth highest paid actress in the world by Forbes.
