Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's demand for 8-hour work shifts has led to her exit from two films, sparking discussion among celebrities about work conditions in the industry.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone recently made headlines after exiting the sequels to 'Spirit' and 'Kalank 2898 AD' due to her demand for 8-hour work shifts. This development intensified discussions within the film industry regarding work conditions, particularly as many celebrities have shared their opinions on the matter over the past year. While some supported Padukone's stance, others remain skeptical about the feasibility and implications of enforcing such a change.
The conversation gained further traction during a recent episode on comedian Bharti Singh's YouTube channel, where actress Isha Koppikar participated. As Bharti expressed her hesitation to enter politics due to the demands of motherhood, Isha wittily remarked that "one only needs to work for 8 hours these days, especially those with children." Her comment subtly referenced Deepika's recent shift demand while shining a light on the challenges faced by working parents in the entertainment industry.
This dialogue not only highlights the ongoing critique of work conditions in Bollywood but also reflects a broader conversation about work-life balance in entertainment and other industries. The growing acknowledgment from celebrities about the need for structured working hours suggests a potential shift in industry standards, which could pave the way for healthier working conditions for all professionals in the field.
