Radhika Apte Can’t Work Beyond 12 Hours
In an interview with Filmfare, Radhika Apte confessed that she can’t work beyond 12 hours, and it is her strict working policy before signing any project. She also wouldn’t like to work more than five days a week.
Radhika Apte said, “I've started putting my foot down, and a lot of people haven't liked it. I can't work beyond 12 hours. And that includes everything from travel, hair, makeup, and the shoot itself. If my travel takes two hours, then the shift has to be planned accordingly. Of course, there can be exceptions to this, but that's my non-negotiable. I insist on weekly days off and ideally wouldn't want to work more than five days a week. Unless it is a small film where the project genuinely can't function. I'd appreciate five days a week and a 12-hour shift.”
Radhika Apte further revealed that many people don’t support her. She said, “No, a lot of people don't support me. There is some support and respect for sure. But there is not a lot of support.”
