The work-life balance for actors in the film industry has been brought up for discussion by reports that actress Deepika Padukone left Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit because the director refused to agree to an eight-hour shift. Actor Neha Dhupia has now weighed in on the subject, siding with Deepika's requests, particularly given her experience as a working mother.
Deepika's plea for fair working hours is supported by Neha
Neha shared a message on her Instagram stories on Monday tagging Deepika, even if Deepika herself hasn't yet addressed the matter. The actor from Singh is Kinng penned in the note, "New moms require practical support and consideration for work-life balance to go beyond talks." Instead, we are frequently marginalized or shamed. I back @deepikapadukone's justifiable demand for reasonable and thoughtful working hours because I am a working mother.
Who else has backed Deepika?
The actor Ajay Devgn had earlier expressed his support for Deepika on this issue, stating that "It's not that it's not going down well with people." The majority of sincere filmmakers will not find it to be a problem. Furthermore, the majority of individuals have begun working eight-nine-hour shifts, in addition to being a mother and working eight hours.
In an interview with News 18, director Mani Ratnam also shared his opinion on the issue, supporting Deepika by stating that if one is able to make such demands, it is totally acceptable. "I think it is a rightful demand. I'm happy that she's in a position to request it. When you cast, I believe you will take that into account as a filmmaker. It's not a fair request, but rather a must. I believe that should be the top priority. You must recognize that, comprehend it, and plan your course of action accordingly.
After Deepika chose to leave Spirit, it was said that Vanga had turned down several of her requests, such as not delivering her lines in Telugu, an 8-hour workday, and a cut of the movie's earnings. Along with Allu Arjun, Deepika has just signed up for Atlee's Telugu movie.
