Several celebrities have been talking about and giving their views on the topic, and now Yuvika Chaudhary, who is also a new mom, has reacted to the ongoing discussion and backed<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/deepika-padukone\/\"> Deepika Padukone<\/a> on the topic.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">In a conversation with Pinkvilla\u2019s Hindi Rush, Yuvika opened up about Deepika\u2019s demand and shared, \u201cEk toh maa banna aasan nahi hai aur maa banne ke baad kaam karna toh bilkul bhi aasan nahi hai. Voh unki definitely demand hogi. Unko kaam se pyaar hai isiliye toh voh kaam kar rahe hai, kaam pe aa rahe hai vapis.&#8221; (It is not easy to be a mother, and it is not easy at all to work after becoming a mother. That will definitely be her demand. She loves working and that is why she is working; she is coming back to work.)<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cJoh aap industry mein itne saalon se kaam kar rahe ho, utni respect toh milna zaroori hai,&#8221; (She has been working in the industry for so many years, so she deserves that respect) she added while sharing how Deepika\u2019s demands are absolutely right.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">She further continued and stated that no one should be this ruthless towards a new mother, saying, \u201cSo I think she is right. She should get that time because itna bhi aapko ruthless nahi hona chahiye.&#8221; (She should get that time and no one should be this ruthless.)<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cAnd I\u2019m sure it\u2019s not forever. It\u2019s a give and take. When you have done a certain amount of work, I think you should get that respect,&#8221; Yuvika concluded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>Bollywood\u2019s Ongoing Debate Over Work Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">For the unversed, the debate over work hours in Bollywood started after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/bollywood\/deepika-padukones-8-hour-shift-request-isnt-new-says-siddharth-p-malhotra-kajol-rani-did-it-too-ws-kl-9398535.html\">Deepika Padukone\u2019s departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s upcoming film Spirit.<\/a> Reports claimed that the actress, who recently embraced motherhood, requested to limit her workday to eight hours \u2014 a clause that reportedly didn\u2019t sit well with the filmmaker.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Several celebrities, including Vikrant Massey, Rashmika Mandanna, Neha Dhupia, Anurag Basu, and others, came out in support of Deepika amid the ongoing discussion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">On the work front, Deepika Padukone is all set to collaborate with Atlee once again after the blockbuster hit Jawan.
