Rashmika Mandanna REACTS Amid Deepika Padukone's 8-Hour Work Rule Controversy

In a recent conversation to Glute, Mandanna said, "I think us glorifying the fact that we overwork is not good. I overwork, and I'm telling you, it's highly not suggestible. Don't do it. It's not sustainable. Don't do it. Do what is comfortable for you, do what is right for you. Get those 8 hours, get those 9-10 hours also because trust me that's going to save you in the later ages. As in, I have seen a lot of these conversations recently where people are like ‘okay, you know, work timing’ and all of that."Further, she added, "I've done it both. And I'm telling you, this is not worth it. As in, of course, it's a responsibility that you have. I tend to overwork myself because I take on so much more than a normal human being can and should. But I'm also not someone who will tell my teams that I can't do something for them. If I know that they are struggling and they're like ‘no we have this location only till now and we have to shoot so much in this time’ and all of that, I understand and I'll give in." "Yeah, that's almost every day in cinema. And that's the love and respect I have for my teams. But if I could choose for myself, I would say ‘please don't make us actors do that, because there's a lot that's going on’. Not even actors."

I Overwork: Rashmika

"Directors, lightmen, music, everyone, just have, like you know how office time is 9 to 6 or 9 to 5 or 9 to 4, let us have that. Because there's still a family life that I want to focus on, there's still my sleep that I want to get in, I still want to work out so, you know, later on I'm not regretting that I wish I was, you know, healthy and fit and working out when I was younger. I'm still thinking about my future. But right now I don't have a say because I'm taking on too much on myself," the actress concluded. On the work front, Rashmika has an interesting lineup of films ahead, including Kubera and Rainbow.
