Bollywood’s Deepika Padukone pushes for an eight-hour workday, citing motherhood and work-life balance.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has renewed her call for an eight-hour workday in the film industry, emphasizing healthier work-life balance, especially for working parents.
In a Harper’s Bazaar India interview, she cited motherhood as a catalyst for reevaluating priorities, advocating for inclusive policies like maternity and paternity leave and normalizing children in the workplace.
She stressed that sustainable productivity stems from well-being, not overwork, and highlighted her production office’s existing eight-hour workweek.
Her comments follow recent departures from projects like *Spirit* and *Kalki 2898 AD*, which she said were tied to negotiations over working conditions and pay, though she maintained her approach has been private and dignified.
The discussion underscores growing demands for systemic change in Bollywood’s labor practices.
