Sonakshi Sinha
Actress Sonakshi Sinha is the latest to weigh in on the ongoing eight-hour shift debate, which stemmed from Deepika Padukone’s reported demands during discussions for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Spirit. Deepika allegedly walked out of the Prabhas-starrer after the makers failed to meet her conditions, including limited working hours, sparking industry-wide conversations on fair work timings. Now, Sonakshi has extended her support to Deepika’s demand, calling it “fair.”
In an interview with India Today, Sonakshi shared her take on the matter, saying, “I don’t even know if it is true or not. But if it is, it’s a very fair reason.”
She further added, “I have worked with actors who don’t work beyond eight hours. So, I don’t see why it should be any different for female actors as well.”
