The topic of implementing an 8-hour workday in Bollywood has stirred up lively debates on social media. With celebrities offering varied takes on the idea, it remains to be seen how feasible it is for an industry known for its long and unpredictable shooting schedules.
At the trailer launch of the upcoming film Maa, veteran actress Kajol expressed her support for shorter work hours, saying, “I love the fact that you can work less.” Her husband and actor Ajay Devgn chimed in, noting that many in the industry—especially working mothers—are now pushing for a more balanced approach to work.
Ajay pointed out that most sincere filmmakers wouldn’t object to an 8-9 hour work shift, suggesting that it’s a reasonable ask in today’s changing work culture. However, his comments sparked a buzz online, with some netizens interpreting it as a subtle jab at actresses who are demanding even shorter workdays—sometimes just 5-6 hours—while still commanding leading roles.
Adding more fuel to the conversation, Akshay Kumar, known for his strict discipline, has long advocated for an 8-hour workday. He once claimed that his eight hours of work equal 14-15 hours of any other star’s effort, underlining his productivity and intense commitment during filming.
Meanwhile, discussions flared further following the exit of a prominent actress from a major project, reportedly over scheduling limitations. While this angered some fans, others applauded her stand, saying such steps could promote healthier work-life balance and push the industry toward gender equality in pay and workload.
With big stars backing the idea and public sentiment largely in favour, Bollywood could be on the brink of a cultural shift—one where performance, not hours clocked, becomes the real measure of success.
