Ever since Deepika Padukone walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit over her 8-hour work shift demand, there has been a lot of chatter. The industry has been divided over her decision. While many are standing by Deepika, some feel it’s not possible in Bollywood. Farah Khan, who has worked with the actress, took an indirect jibe and seemed not to be in support.

Farah Khan’s thoughts on the 8-hour shift demand

In her recent YouTube vlog, Farah Khan visited Radhikka Madan’s house. While they were discussing about her first audition for Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi, the topic of shift hours came up. Recalling her experience, the Sarfira actress revealed that the moment the camera switched on, she felt very safe. After giving the audition, she was sure that they wouldn’t cast her. But, to her surprise, she was shooting for her next show within 2 days.

It was then that Farah questioned her about having an 8-hour shift. Radhikka then replied, “56 hours non-stop or 48 hours non-stop.” The filmmaker who has worked with Deepika Padukone in Happy New Year and Om Shanti Om hinted that even she does not support an 8-hour shift. She shared, “Aise tapke hi toh sona banta hai (this is how gold is made)."

According to sources, the Bajirao Mastani actress decided to part ways with the film because the producers and directors failed to meet her demands.
