Kumar Sanu backs both Deepika Padukone and Sandeep Reddy Vanga in 8-hour shift debate: 'I recorded Kuch Na Kaho in 9 minutes'
Amid ongoing discussions about work-life balance in the film industry, sparked by Deepika Padukone 's recent exit from Spirit, veteran playback singer Kumar Sanu has weighed in on the complexities of filmmaking schedules. Deepika, who recently became a mother, reportedly stepped away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's Prabhas-starrer due to the film's demanding hours. She has since been replaced by Triptii Dimri. Speaking exclusively to ETimes, Sanu offered a measured view of the situation. 'Of course filmmaking is a time-consuming work and we cannot lock it to an 8-hour shift as it takes time to set up camera, make changes to the set. It takes a lot of time,' he said. However, he acknowledged the artist's side too. 'Filmmakers need to look at their artists' life and schedule as well. Referring to Deepika's situation as she's a new mom—it could be mentally and physically exhausting. So both actors and directors should be looking out for each other as it's a team work. Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Deepika Padukone are both right in their own respective ways.' 'Putting a number to creativity doesn't make sense' When asked whether limiting shooting hours might help actors perform better, Sanu took a more nuanced view. 'Budget and time allotted can put pressure on the creative team, but we also have to see that there have been really good and enjoyable movies and really bad movies made in the same time as each other. Creativity is in the mind of the filmmaking crew. Putting a number to it doesn't make any sense,' he explained. 'If we make a certain number an industry standard, it might affect some and it might not affect others. Slandering or bashing actors or directors is not the way to handle this debate.' 'Mothers need empathy, not pressure' Sanu also stressed the importance of empathy in an industry that often overlooks the personal challenges of its stars. 'Work and life balance is really important. With actresses especially when they become mothers, we need to be understanding and give them their comfort on humanity ground,' he said. 'There are many complications after becoming a mother and every woman faces different things.' He added, 'Movies were being made in the 50s and 60s when there was lack of convenience, but they worked around it. In today's time, we have so much convenience, people should be more understanding now.' 'More hours don't mean better output' As someone who has seen both speed and quality coexist in the music industry, Sanu believes longer hours aren't always productive. 'That is dependent on the filmmakers. There's no guarantee of better results because we have some amazing actors who can deliver in short time,' he noted. 'I recorded Kuch Na Kaho in 9 minutes and it was just a rehearsal—yet it was a super hit song. More time doesn't guarantee better results.' Deepika Exits 'Spirit'; Bollywood Backs 8-Hour Rule 'Professionalism and punctuality matter more than hours' Asked about models of production he admires for efficiency, Sanu pointed to values over regions. 'Production model is punctuality and professionalism. For example, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan was known for his punctuality,' he said. 'So the production model for efficiency should follow punctuality and preparation—arriving on time, being prepared, and doing their homework in advance. That kind of discipline sets the tone for a smooth and productive shoot.' Shorter shifts could be a double-edged sword economically On the potential economic impact of implementing 8-hour shoot days across the industry, Sanu offered a reality check. 'Economically it'll be negative especially for those who work on hourly basis or shift basis. Unless someone has a one-off contract, then it's positive for them,' he said. Still, he acknowledged that the shift might create new opportunities. 'Yes, it will definitely create more job opportunities and they will save time as well.'

Sudhanshu Pandey says 'The Traitors' was meditative, reveals why it was challenging Karan Johar: 'Don't remember the last time someone disrespected me'
has been a heartthrob since the 90s ever since people were introduced to 'Band Of Boys' and also when he was a popular model. But in more recent times, he's remembered for being Vanraj from ' Anupama '. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though, he's done over 50 movies in his career. However, the actor is now on a new journey, as he ventured into the reality space with ' The Traitors '. The series hosted by also has many other contestants like Uorfi Javed , Apurva Mukhija, , Harsh Gujral, Anshula Kapoor among many others. In a chat with ETimes, when asked about his strategy for the show, Sudhanshu said, "I'm exactly the way you see me. In fact, you know, when when the poster was launched at Yash Raj, and they asked me what is going to be your strategy, I said that my strategy is going to be having no strategy at all. I'm just going to be myself. And for me, that is what a reality show is. I'm not there to put an act or put up a facade. Because, I guess when you are in a reality space, it's the only chance for an actor, or at least somebody who's been working for so many years as I have been, is the only chance for the audience to see the real side of an actor." Talking about the experience on the show and what he's learnt so far, he expressed, "It was a very meditative space to be in, because we would play the whole day and then go back to our rooms at night and be just completely by yourself. There was only one TV, there was no internet, there was nothing, there was no phone, there was no Wi Fi. So you were completely disconnected." Sudhanshu revealed how the show was a great lesson for him in observing people. "I was observing everybody there and how they behave. They were splitting their personality every other second. You realise, there's all sorts of people there. So, it makes you sit and observe about the kind of people around you or what kind of people are they growing into. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It was a great observation class for me and a great vacation I would say." Sudhanshu also spoke about host Karan Johar and why this series would have been so challenging for him. "Karan is a a people's person, and he loves talking and chatting. It was a challenge for him to host something like this, because he had to keep a straight face and not interact." The actor also opened up why there is less possibility of him having fights or rifts with anyone on the series. "I conduct myself in such a way that I give a lot of respect to people around me. So, I also get a lot of respect in return. The risk of somebody coming and disrespecting me for no reason is very less, very little. I don't remember last time, somebody just disrespected me for no reason," said Sudhanshu.

The Traitors: Why Raj Kundra So Desperately Wants To Be A Khalnayak (But In Vain)
New Delhi: Nayak nahin, khalnayak hoon main - businessman Raj Kundra wrote this "script" for himself in Prime Video's ongoing reality show The Traitors. His wish, alas, wasn't fulfilled. He was the first contestant to be evicted from the 10-episode series, which premiered on the streamer on June 12. His last words on the show before bidding goodbye to fellow contestants were, "I feel my wife is right. She says that I cannot lie to save my life, it's not who I am." Who is Raj Kundra? (In Real Life) The Traitors has seemed to put the spotlight on Raj Kundra's identity crisis more than ever before. He is a business tycoon, also actor Shilpa Shetty's husband, who hit the headlines in 2021 for all the wrong reasons. A doting husband, who always accompanied his wife at parties and film screenings, hid his face under innovative masks for years. Bidding adieu to the face masks was an event in itself back in 2023 (more on that later). During his two-episode stay on the show, Raj Kundra said he wanted to be a khalnayak, a villain. After all, series host Karan Johar entrusted him with the tag of a "traitor". "Traitor" and " khalnayak" are not synonymous, but Raj Kundra wanted to be a khalnayak to prove himself a worthy traitor (of course, we are talking about him on the show). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Raj Kundra (@onlyrajkundra) Alas. During a one-on-one conversation with Raj Kundra, when Karan Johar asked him if he could tell lies with a straight face, the former admitted, "I am not a good liar, honestly I am not." Ouch. Nonetheless, Raj Kundra wanted to be a khalnayak. He has an explanation for this too. After coming out of the show, Raj Kundra told ETimes, "I've been called many names, so I thought - why not own the tag on my terms? But I wasn't there to be a dark, brooding villain." "I wanted to be cheeky, unpredictable, and maybe even oddly likeable. It was my way of saying: I've been judged without people knowing the full story. Now, here's a version of me that's scripted by me," he added. Raj Kundra wanted to be a "cheeky, unpredicatable" sort of villain, but he ended up being predictable and over the top (like most of the other contestants in the show). Other contestants might get the benefit of the doubt, but Raj Kundra would be "judged" as he had chosen a game show titled The Traitors to show his "happy-go-lucky" side. What Happened In Croatia Didn't Stay In Croatia Raj Kundra has worked hard to prove his villain arc. The Traitors was his recent bait. But it didn't pay off. Earlier this month, an Instagrammer shared a video of Shilpa Shetty celebrating her 50th birthday in Croatia with her family. The video recorded Shilpa Shetty's voice, not Raj Kundra's. "This incident occurred today (9.06.2025) in Hvar Island, Croatia. A foreigner was eating her food, and they (Shilpa Shetty and team) were speaking loudly. The foreigner girl asked them to lower their volume; however, Raj Kundra (Shilpa Shetty's Husband) replied by saying, 'You don't know who we are.' I could not record that line on the video because it was very sudden," wrote the Instagrammer who shared the video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Madhavan Batra (Maddy) (@maddythecricketer) What followed was a clarification by Raj Kundra, explaining to Hindustan Times what actually happened in Croatia. But Raj paaji, we can't call you a "villain" as there's no recorded proof. Raj Kundra And The Pornography Case Raj Kundra was charged under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act and Information Technology Act for allegedly distributing/ transmitting sexually explicit videos in July 2021. He was arrested by Mumbai Police. He was later granted bail in September 2021 by a metropolitan magistrate's court. After his release from the detention centre, where he spent 63 days, Raj Kundra consciously hid his face under the garb of innovative face masks. He was spotted by the paparazzi in different parts of Mumbai, but never without a mask. Raj Kundra And The Curious Case Of Face Masks Raj Kundra turned a protection gear into a fashion statement. He didn't have any ill motive behind this venture. We believed him. But we were, surely, taken aback by the way he bid farewell to masks during the trailer launch of his film UT 69 (written by and also starring Raj Kundra) in 2023. At the trailer launch of the film, Raj Kundra revealed why he began wearing the face masks. "I wore the mask out of pain. The media trial was painful. It was more painful than my legal trial that's going on. I don't blame you (addressing media) as you were doing your work. But it was so painful that I wanted to cover up. I don't want to be spotted. I don't want to get clicked," Raj Kundra told reporters back then. So, Raj Kundra used media to criticise the media. A smart move indeed. Two days after the trailer launch of UT 69, which is a take on Raj Kundra's 63 days' stay at the detention centre, the business tycoon shared a cryptic post on X: "We have separated and kindly request you to give us time during this difficult period." After the Internet assumed that everything was not well between Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty after his post went viral, he played a masterstroke. "Farewell time to separate now! Thank you for keeping me protected over the last two years. Onto the next phase of my journey #UT69," he shared in a new X post. His envious collection of facemasks of different sizes and shapes would need another film (obviously produced by him) to uphold the different sides of the truth. Farewell Masks …it's time to separate now! Thank you for keeping me protected over the last two years. Onto the next phase of my journey #UT69 🙏🎭🥹 🧿😇❤️ — Raj Kundra (@onlyrajkundra) October 20, 2023 Raj Kundra's Tryst With Innocence It's not easy to be a celebrity in India. It's not at all easy to be a villain, at least for Raj Kundra. Truth has more than one narrative and we are not in a position to pass comments on someone who was embroiled in a legal battle. But after his being granted bail from the pornography case, Raj Kundra has been trying to prove his innocence - some times in a innocent way; at times, in a not-so-innocent way. He tried scripting a "villainous" character for himself in a game show and failed at it miserably. He's desperate to show his real innocent self to a larger audience. But does an innocent person choose a game of deception to paint his image white? We'll let you mull over it.
