Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam are preparing for the release of their new film Haq, set to hit theaters on November 7. Ahead of the film`s release, director Suparn Verma and Yami discussed the ongoing conversation around the 8-hour work shift in the film industry. While Yami emphasised the significance of motherhood by stating, `once a mother, always a mother,` she also highlighted the need for mutual understanding between actors and filmmakers.
In a recent interview with Times Now, Yami Gautam shared, "To begin with, once a mother, always a mother. Regardless of whether you are employed or a stay-at-home parent, every mother is unique and does everything possible for her child. No one holds more importance to a mother than her child. Regarding my profession, the manner in which I select my scripts is entirely separate from my personal life."
