Deepika Padukone’s 8-hour work rule sparks debate: Hansal Mehta, Hema Malini, and Sharmila Tagore weigh in

Deepika Padukone is currently at the vortex of a heated industry debate, how many hours should a working mother dedicate to her profession when her baby is waiting at home? The film fraternity stands divided. While some defend Deepika’s right to balance work and motherhood, others argue that filmmaking isn’t and never can be a strict 9-to-5 job. Although Deepika hasn’t directly addressed reports about her opting out of certain projects like Kalki due to her insistence on an eight-hour workday, she did touch upon the subject of mental wellness at a recent event in Madhya Pradesh. However, not everyone in the industry supports her self-imposed guideline.
