In a recent interaction, TV`s celebrated actress Smriti Irani broke her silence on the currently hot topic about 8-hour work shifts for actors in the entertainment sector. Deepika Padukone ignited the issue by demanding an 8-hour workday after adopting motherhood for the first time this year. `That is an individual issue,` Irani frankly stated.

In a recent interaction with India Today, "You cannot say that the producer`s commitment shall not be honoured. I don`t feel like [working] today. That is not professionally acceptable behaviour. But at the same time, I believe as an industry as a whole, we can have new pathways to enhancing our market value. I think the industry is so focused on creating creative value that it doesn`t look at market value."
