New Delhi:
Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit has led to several industry people reacting to her 8-hour work demand.
Genelia Deshmukh who is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, weighed in on how it might get tough for working mothers, but it is not unmanageable. The actress further added that she works for 10 hours.
What's Happening
After Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit over her 8-hour work demand, Genelia Deshmukh recently shared her opinion on the same.
Genelia told Zoom, "It is tough but it is not impossible. I do work for 10 hours a day and there are days when the director asks to extend it to 11 or 12 hours. I think it's fair but we just need time to make those adjustments. When you have a day or two where you have to overdo, it's also an understanding and a process that needs to be done."
About Sitaare Zameen Par
Sitaare Zameen Par is a sequel to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par.
The plot of the film revolves around a frustrated basketball coach played by Aamir. He serves community service by training Neurodivergent adults after a DUI. He gains perception in this journey and his outlook towards life changes as he trains these players.

In A Nutshell
Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit had several reasons, some of them being a reasonable 8-hour shift demand, profit-sharing settlement, and a massive paycheck that did not sit well with the director. Since then several people from the film fraternity have been sharing their views on the fair work-hour debate, especially for new working moms. Genelia Deshmukh shared her views on how it can get difficult but is not impossible entirely.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri Takes A Dig At Deepika Padukones JNU Visit In 2020
New Delhi: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri is making headlines after taking a dig at Deepika Padukone's visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in 2020. At the time, the actress stood silently in solidarity with students following a violent attack on campus—just days before the release of her film Chhapaak. In a recent interview, Agnihotri questioned whether Deepika truly understood the political implications of her appearance. Vivek Agnihotri On Deepika Padukone's JNU Visit In 2020 Speaking in a new interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Agnihotri questioned whether the actor was truly aware of the political weight her silent show of support carried. Vivek said, 'I can guarantee that Deepika had no idea about JNU politics when she went there.' According to him, Deepika was likely misled by her PR team, who may have viewed the event as an opportunity to promote her 2020 film Chhapaak, which dealt with a socially sensitive issue. When asked directly if he thought Deepika was 'dumb,' Agnihotri clarified, 'It's not about being dumb. Her PR must've told her that this is a good opportunity to promote your film, because the university is associated with politics, and the film is also political. If she had known, she wouldn't have come.' He also acknowledged the unavoidable risks that come with entering political territory—intentional or not. 'You play with fire, you get burned. ' Calling Deepika Padukone a smart woman, he said she likely wouldn't have appeared there if she had known it was politically sensitive. He further added, 'I don't know her personally, so I don't know what ideology she aligns with. I do know that she is a very smart and intelligent woman. Had she known that this is a politically sensitive place and that it might impact her career, she would've definitely not gone. During film promotions, there are too many voices telling stars what to do and who to speak to. Her PR was mistaken, they thought it was an event. But it wasn't an event. Bigger fish than her have been fried for getting involved in politics. ' the filmmaker concluded. About Chhapaak Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Chhapaak featured Deepika Padukone as Malti, a young woman who fights for justice and social change after surviving a horrific acid attack. Though critically acclaimed for its sensitive storytelling and Deepika's powerful performance, the film struggled at the box office partly due to the backlash following the actor's appearance at a JNU protest.
