In a recent interaction, veteran actress Madhuri Dixit shared her views on the ongoing discussion surrounding Deepika Padukone’s reported demand for an 8-hour work shift in the Bollywood industry.
Madhuri stated that not every actor can simply request fixed working hours, adding that such flexibility usually comes with experience, stature, and the position one has achieved in the industry.
Addressing Deepika Padukone specifically, she acknowledged that the actress is a new mother and therefore needs to balance her professional commitments with her personal life and responsibilities at home.
Madhuri further emphasized that matters related to working hours and schedules should be mutually decided between the actor and the producer. She noted that such discussions should remain private and be resolved directly between the concerned parties based on the requirements of the project.
Her comments come amid ongoing industry conversations about work-life balance and working conditions in Bollywood.
