India, Dec. 16 -- O ne of the biggest discussions in the Indian film industry this year has been the eight-hour shift debate. It began when actor Deepika Padukone reportedly walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit after her request for an eight-hour workday as a new mother was denied. The topic resurfaced when the 39-year-old exited the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD (2024). Now, an older video of Deepika's husband, actor Ranveer Singh, expressing his stance on working extra hours has resurfaced online. In a 2022 interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ranveer had said, "A lot of times people complain. other artists and their management complain ki 'Yaar tu sabko bigaad raha hai.' Sab log bolte hain, '8 ghante ki shift mein tu 10-12 ghante kabhi shooting karta hai. Phir hum log ko bhi karna padta hai'." The 40-year-old added, "But ab 8 ghante mein woh cheez jo hum chahte hain, woh nahin bani toh theek hai na. Aap karlo thodi si zyada shooting. I'm not that kind of partner who sees it as a transaction." In an interview earlier this year, Deepika had spoken about the importance of balanced work hours. "We've normalised overworking. We mistake burnout for commitment. Eight hours of work a day is enough for the human body and mind," she said, adding, "Only when you're healthy can you give your best. Bringing a burnt-out person back into the system helps no one. In my own office, we work eight hours a day, Monday to Friday." HTC...
