A year after Deepika Padukone's 8-hour work shift demand sparked a debate across the film industry, actor-turned-MP Kangana Ranaut has become the latest from the fraternity to back her.
In a new podcast, Kangana said Deepika has ‘earned’ the right to demand that as the top-most actress and a mother.
Last year, Deepika made a shock exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Prabhas-starrer Spirit, reportedly over her demand to work only 8 hours in a day as a new mother.
Kangana backs Deepika's decision, saying that work-life balance evolves over time and with experience.
The National Award-winning actor said, “I don't think there should be an issue created out of this because if you see where she (Deepika Padukone) is coming from, she has earned that place.
She has a daughter; she's a mother now and the top-most actress. If today she is keen to work for eight hours, she has earned it,” Kangana said.
