Bollywood actor Kiara Advani has lent her voice to the ongoing debate around an 8-hour shift system in the film industry. In a recent interview with Vogue, she emphasized the importance of maintaining a work-life balance and respecting one's body, particularly after becoming a mother. Kiara, who recently welcomed her first child, expressed her support for Deepika Padukone's demand for an 8-hour shift. According to reports, Deepika had walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit after reportedly insisting on an 8-hour workday. Kiara's take on the debate echoes the sentiments of many in the industry, who believe that burnout is detrimental to productivity and overall well-being. Several industry professionals, including Ajay Devgn and Mani Ratnam, have publicly supported Deepika's stance. Ajay Devgn stated that most honest filmmakers would not have issues with an 8-hour shift, while Mani Ratnam called it a 'rightful demand' that should be prioritized. Kiara's comments on motherhood and body positivity also shed light on the importance of self-respect and self-care, particularly for new mothers. By advocating for a better work-life balance, Kiara and other industry professionals hope to create a more sustainable and respectful environment for all workers in the film industry.
