In an interview, Rashmika said, ‘I work too much and I think this is not right. Everyone should set a schedule that suits them. Work for 8 hours, 9 or 10 hours, but then give yourself time. I have heard a lot about working hours recently. I think the industry should adopt a ‘9 to 6′ schedule. This will help balance the lives of both the actors and technicians.’
How did the 8-hour shift controversy start?
Actress Deepika Padukone had set a condition of 8-hour shifts after the birth of her daughter. However, she left the film ‘Spirit’ as that condition was not met. After that, this issue has become a topic of discussion in the entire industry and many big actors have reacted to it.
When will ‘The Girlfriend’ release?
Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming film ‘The Girlfriend’ will be released in theaters on November 7. She will be seen in the lead role opposite Dhikshith Shetty in this film. There is a lot of excitement among her fans about the film.
Rashmika’s love life is also in the news
Along with work, Rashmika is also in the news for her personal life. According to sources, she is engaged to actor Vijay Deverakonda. In a video, she was seen showing off her engagement ring.
Deepika’s opinion on eight-hour shifts
After a long time, the actress has broken her silence on all the allegations against her. Speaking to CNN-TV18, she expressed her views on all these allegations. She drew attention to the hypocrisy in the industry. She said, “If as a woman, it feels like pressure, so be it. But it is not something new that many superstars, male actors, in the Indian film industry have been working only eight hours for many years and because of this they have never been in the news headlines.
She further said, “I do not want to name anyone right now and I do not want to make this matter so big. But many male actors work only eight hours from Monday to Friday, they do not work on weekends. “The Indian film industry is called an ‘industry’, but the real situation is very chaotic. It is time to bring in proper management and structure.”
