Alba's achievements are often compared to those of Gwyneth Paltrow, who launched her Goop lifestyle newsletter in 2008, reported Vanity Fair magazine.
Asked how does she feel when people compare her with the Oscar-winning actress, Alba said, "What I think is unfair is to lump actresses together. People aren't lumping (part-time restaurateurs, designers, brand leaders and entrepreneurs) Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher together."
"They do other businesses. I think it's expected that when you get success in one area, you're supposed to evolve and try to do something else - especially in business, and especially if you're a man," Alba, 34, said.
