In the past few weeks, the conversation around work-life balance in the entertainment industry has taken center stage, with Deepika Padukone's call for an 8-hour work shift sparking a widespread debate. The latest voice to join the discussion is actor Ishaan Khatter, who shared his nuanced take on the issue during a recent interview.
Ishaan acknowledged that the privileged position of actors allows them to work long hours, but emphasized the need to be considerate of the entire crew. "To be considerate is to understand that it's a very privileged position to be in as an actor - to be able to say that I'm okay to work these many hours. But there are people in the crew who come in an hour before you, and they have to pack up and leave later. It takes them longer to go back home, so you need to be considerate of the working environment, and decisions should be taken accordingly."
