8 hours of work is enough for body & mind: Deepika

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone recently spoke in a popular magazine about the new definition of success and work-life balance after motherhood. There, she once again strongly emphasised the demand for implementing an 8-hour shift in workplace. She says, “For me, success now means being physically and mentally healthy. Time is our greatest asset. The freedom to choose how you spend that time, who you spend it with, all of that is what real success is to me. We have normalised overwork. We mistake fatigue for commitment. However, eight hours of work a day is enough for the human body and mind. Only when you are healthy can you give your best.”
