Ishita Dutta backs Deepika's 8-hour shift demand, says don't belittle others

Ishita Dutta has backed Deepika Padukone’s eight-hour workday demand, calling it reasonable and saying production houses should not belittle actors who request shorter shifts. In an interview with The Free Press Journal, the ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ actress discussed the challenges of motherhood and acknowledged that producers can refuse such requests. Ishita also admitted she is not yet in a position to make a similar demand herself, as debate over working hours and gender expectations continues across the film industry.
