Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone had demanded an eight-hour shift for some time. After which a debate has erupted regarding work in the industry.

Radhika has also explained the reason behind reducing the shift hours.
Radhika talked about her working hours in an interview given to Filmfare. He told that he had to fight with people on this matter. He further said that some people suggest hiring a nanny to take care of the actor’s child. But this is not really a solution.
Reacted to working for long hours
Radhika was asked what she would do to make the film industry more friendly for parents. She said- ‘I will be the first to change my working hours. You cannot expect someone to stay without seeing their child for a whole week. I have had several conversations and debates over his refusal to work long shifts. You will be surprised how much battle has to be fought for this. I find it very strange and people say to hire a nanny and bring her to the set. Sorry, but that’s not really the answer.

Radhika also talked about her non-negotiable conditions while signing the script. She said- ‘She would like a five-day working week and 12-hour shifts. He said- Now I have started adamant on my point and many people have not liked it. I cannot work more than 12 hours a day and this includes travel, hair, make-up and shooting. If my journey takes two hours, my shift will have to be planned accordingly. Of course, there may be some exceptions to this, but this is my non-negotiable condition.
She further said- ‘I insist on weekly off and ideally do not want to work more than five days a week. Unless it’s a small film where the project really can’t work without it. I would prefer five days a week and 12-hour shifts.
