Salman Khan's Hum Aapke Hain Koun costar Renuka Shahane reacts to 8-hour shift debate amid Deepika Padukone controversy: 'I know of a lot of working mothers who are...'
'It's a creative field where you need a collaboration, and cooperation of all the members of the team,' says Renuka Shahane read more After celebs like Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Madhoo, Mani Ratnam, and Kritika Kamra, among others, veteran actress Renuka Shahane has reacted to the ongoing debate of an 8-hour shift after Deepika Padukone's controversial exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit featuring Prabhas. 'I don't want to make a general statement on it because I feel that there are even some male actors who would like to minimize hours, not just female actors. A lot of them have come out and said that they want to spend time with their families. In this context, it's a difficult thing to say, because it is a matter of individual choice,' said Renuka while talking to Hindustan Times. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I know of a lot of working mothers who are going to work in daily soaps for 18-hour shifts, and they manage their child by taking them to the set, and kind of raising them practically on the set. It is a choice that they have made and who am I to say anything about that? If the producer accepts that, it's their prerogative. There should not be a compulsion as there might be mothers who want or need to work for 18 hours. It's a very individual thing,' said Renuka, who is a mother of two kids. 'It's a creative field where you need a collaboration, and cooperation of all the members of the team. So, unless you are all on the same page, there's no point in going ahead. Whenever you decide to sign on the dotted line, that has to be something mutual. And that sense of respect has to be there because if there is no respect, you're not going to be able to work with each other at all,' the Dupahiya star shared.
