Rubina Dilaik reacts Deepika Padukone’s 8 hour shift demand.
Rubina Dilaik is one of television’s most loved actresses, known for being vocal about her opinions and points of view. Recently, she spoke up about one of the most discussed topics in the industry right now, the demand for fixed working hours. The debate began when Deepika Padukone exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’ project, Spirit.
Rubina backed Deepika and stated that she has been struggling with the issue of long working hours since the beginning of her career. “This (working hours) has been a struggle even when I was new to the industry, but very rarely are we heard. If we voice our concern about it, then it becomes news… but working hours have to be respectful,” she told PTI in an interview.
She further added, “I’m not saying this because I’m an actor. If I become a producer, I shall ensure that my people work within eight hours. I’ll create a system wherein we do meaningful and good work within eight hours, and it’s a win-win for everyone.”
Rubina also said that Deepika’s demand is very realistic. “I’m not saying that the producer or the network should lose money. Everyone should get time to rest because their creativity will flourish. Having said that, Deepika Padukone has not made an unrealistic demand.”
Bollywood’s ongoing debate over work hours
For the unversed, the debate over work hours in Bollywood gained traction after Deepika Padukone’s departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit. Reports claimed that the actress, who recently embraced motherhood, had requested to limit her workday to eight hours, a clause that reportedly didn’t sit well with the filmmaker.
Several celebrities, including Vikrant Massey, Rashmika Mandanna, Neha Dhupia, Anurag Basu, and others, came out in support of Deepika amid the ongoing discussion.
On the work front, Deepika Padukone is all set to collaborate with Atlee once again after the blockbuster hit Jawan. She is reportedly playing a pivotal role in Shah Rukh Khan’s King.
Meanwhile, Rubina was recently seen whipping up a variety of dishes along with her impressive comic timing on Laughter Chefs 2. Hosted by Bharti Singh and Chef Harpal Singh, the culinary show is nearing its finale. She is now also seen on Pati Patni Aur Panga with her husband Abhinav Shukla.
