Saba Azad said- We have gone backward
In the interview given at Screen Awards, Saba Azad talked openly about the status of women in the society and the working environment. He said, ‘Women can work even in big houses, but they come home and prepare food and feed everyone. We don’t ask our boys to stay at home, but we ask our girls not to go out after 8 pm. Female feticide still occurs. Domestic violence is also widespread in the world and the dominance of men is also very high. I think we have gone backwards.

What did Saba Azad say on the demand of 8 hour shift?
On Deepika Padukone’s demand for 8-hour shift, Saba Azad said, ‘Women now get a lot of work opportunities in our industry. The situation has improved a lot, but is there still a lot of difference in salary? No it is not like that. Do we respect women who have recently given birth to a child and are demanding to work only for 8 hours? No, we don’t do that. We are still struggling in this matter. We are still not able to provide this facility to women without showing their ‘status’.

Now content is more important than stardom – Saba Azad
Saba Azad further said, ‘We are doing better than before. Now there is a lot of content available for women and after marriage, there is no difference in work as before. The situation regarding roles for married or older women has also improved a lot. Major credit for this can be given to OTT. Now the importance of content is increasing more than stardom.

The truth behind the glamor of the film industry has once again come to light. Artists are now speaking openly about long working hours and lack of facilities on the sets. Recently, during a conversation, Archana Puran Singh openly expressed her opinion on this issue and told how people working on film sets sometimes do not even get the necessary facilities.

Archana called some production houses stingy

Talking to News 18, Archana Puran Singh said about the production house that the working hours during shooting always increase more than the scheduled time. Many times one has to work for more than 12 hours and this is increased to 13-14 hours. They make us work for 13-14 hours and sometimes don’t even give us a lunch break. This is completely stingy. Stinginess is not just about money, it is about thinking. The lightmen who stand in the sun for hours do not even get proper food. He does not have any assistant who can give him fruits or anything else. This is very wrong. Some production houses are so strict about food that people jokingly start identifying them based on their food.

Many artists also raised their voice

Apart from this, Sanya Malhotra said that many times the shooting happens in such a hurry that even the necessary breaks like lunch time are ignored. Rajkumar Rao believes that if the schedule is planned properly, then eating and taking rest on time is absolutely possible. It is important to take care of the health and comfort of every person working on the set. Abhishek Banerjee also said that these small things actually show big thinking, where people’s basic needs are left behind in the pursuit of saving expenses.

Surveen chawla on 8 hours shift: Actress Deepika Padukone was working in filmmaker Sandeep Wanga Reddy’s film Spirit. However, due to Deepika’s demands, Sandeep expelled her from the film. There were reports that Deepika had demanded 8 hours of shift. Now many people have come in support of Deepika.

Surveen Chawla, who is seen in Criminal Justice, has reacted on it. He has supported Deepika.

Surveen Chawla said this

Surveen Chawla said, ‘I think the atmosphere should be more favorable for the mother in the industry today. Especially those who have become a new mother. Being a new mother comes with very restructuring. When it comes to the child, a lot has to be done. We should take care of this. There is a need to support new mothers. We should do such things that work for both makers and actors. I do not think this is something that should be questioned. I do not even want to know why this happened. This is just needed.

He further said, ‘You cannot take this from an actor. There is a mother and she is not able to give proper time, so you cannot snatch their passion from anyone. One has to work in this industry for many hours. When we shoot, it is a crazy. You work very hard. Even such days come when you are unable to see your family. I don’t think this is a fair. I think in this industry we need a proper rule so that people can make balance in their lives.
