Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut, who often makes headlines for her outspoken nature, came in support of Deepika Padukone after the actress parted ways with the big-budget movies, allegedly due to a lack of fixed working hours.
Last year, Deepika found herself in the middle of a heated debate after her shocking exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga`s Spirit and Nag Ashwin`s Kalki 2898 AD, over specific working conditions, including a request for an eight-hour working day. The debate continued for months, with several celebrities weighing in on it.
Kangana Ranaut shares her take on the 8-hour shift debate
In an interview with ANI, Kangana reflected on how work-life balance evolves with time and experience. She recalled the time when she and Deepika pushed themselves through long, demanding shifts, driven by ambition and the desire to succeed.
Kangana said, “I don’t think there should be an issue created out of this because if you see where she (Deepika Padukone) is coming from, she has earned that place. She has a daughter, she’s a mother now, and the topmost actress. If today she is keen to work for eight hours, she has earned it.”
Kangana points out the societal pressures faced by mothers
Kangana also criticised the societal pressures that require women to balance intense work demands with family responsibilities.
