News India Live, Digital Desk: Bollywood Controversy: The truth of long and tiring working hours hidden behind the glamor of Bollywood is now slowly coming to light. Recently, famous actress Deepika Padukone had expressed concern about the excessive working hours in the film industry. Now joining his voice, National Award winning filmmaker Hansal Mehta has also openly expressed his views on this serious issue. He has emphasized on how 12-hour working day has been normalized in the industry by calling it ‘shift’, which is absolutely wrong. What did Hansal Mehta say? Hansal Mehta wrote in his social media post that working for 12 hours is considered a normal ‘shift’ in the industry, whereas it is a very long time for a human being. He lamented that people often equate this ‘shift’ with overtime, which means people work more than 12 hours. Hansal Mehta says that working for such long hours not only has a bad effect on people’s health, but also affects their creativity and personal life. Deepika Padukone had also raised her voice: Earlier, Deepika Padukone had also said in an interview that the working hours on film sets are often very long, which affects the sleep and rest of the artists and crew members. He had said that there comes a time when actors are not able to perform as well as they should, simply because they are completely tired. Need for change: This issue has been going on in Bollywood for a long time, but now that big names of the industry are speaking on it, it is expected that some serious consideration will be given to it. Taking care of correct working hours and health and comfort of employees is very important for any industry, and Bollywood is no exception to this. It remains to be seen what steps are taken on this.
