Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has expressed criticism of the industry’s work culture and notes that although a 12-hour day is called a “shift” suffers personal life due to chaotic shots, long commuters, rushed meals and just a few hours of broken sleep. The widespread discussion of the industry about balance between working life and life was evoked by Deepika PadukoneDemand for an 8-hour working day after becoming a mother.Hansal Mehta raises concerns about mental and physical well -being.
On October 10, Hansal shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) and questioned the place of mental and physical well -being in the industry. He pointed out, “Where does our mental health or physical well -being fit into this equation? The weekends are rarely weekends. Disrupts are seen down. Somewhere on the road became exhaustion normalized, and rest became a privilege. Sometimes I wonder: Can this really be called an industry if it goes on the relentless drainage of its people?”Highlight challenges that daily efforts faceHe added further, “The hardest hit are the ones who have the slightest power – the daily efforts. They are always the first to arrive and the last ones left, survived under conditions we would call inhuman elsewhere.

But often they do not just adapt to the broken we already have. Because it is profitable. I really think that if we cared for well -being, ours and especially those who hold up the base on this pyramid, we would not only work better but also live better. The irony is that quality, efficiency and even profit would follow. But first we have to stop spitting at the simple idea of rest. Because without it, what do we really build? “Deepika Padukone’s current projectOn the work front, Deepika Padukone is now pushing for ‘King’, which also stars Shah Rukh KhanSuhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles.
