Recently, Deepika Padukone made a lot of headlines after she quit Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit due to motherhood and a couple of other reasons. Now, in an interview, Radhika Apte has revealed how the industry is not conducive to working mothers.
The actress said, 'I don't think they are. I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead… It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now.'

Taking to X, the Animal helmer shared a cryptic tweet. The director didn't mention Deepika Padukone but slammed her for her dirty PR games and revealing some parts of her film's story.
'When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are…Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it," Vanga wrote.
Reasons why the actress quit Spirit
There are three reasons that have been reported so far. One of them has to do with the fact that Deepika has just embraced motherhood as she now has her daughter Dua in her life. Here are the three reported reasons:
Deepika Padukone reportedly insisted on 8-hour shifts that barely allows for 6 hours of filming.
She also demanded whooping Rs 20 Crores for the project & also a share in profits, she allegedly refused to speak her Telugu lines.
A new source says the film has a lot of bold scenes and maybe it was Padukone's discomfort that led to her exit.
