Deepika Padukone's exit from 'Spirit' sparks Bollywood work‑life balance debate

Deepika Padukone’s decision to walk away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit in late May 2025—reportedly due to her request for a capped 8‑hour shooting day—has ignited a wide‑ranging discussion on fair work hours in the film industry. Prominent figures including Neha Dhupia, Ajay Devgn, Mani Ratnam and Rana Daggubati have voiced support, emphasizing that such limits aren’t just acceptable but essential for professionals—especially new mothers—to balance career and family responsibilities
