Radhika Apte Backs Deepika on Fixed Hours: '16-Hour Shifts Impossible for Moms'

• Radhika Apte supports Deepika Padukone's demand for fixed working hours in Bollywood.
• As a new mother, Apte insists on 12-hour shifts (including travel/makeup) due to 16-hour workdays.
• She states 16-hour days prevent her from seeing her child, making fixed hours non-negotiable.
• Apte experienced emotional challenge but also 'freedom' during her first work trip away from her daughter.
• Despite motherhood, Apte has not faced a drop in work offers and has consciously paused work until April.

Why It Matters: Radhika Apte champions fixed working hours for mothers in Bollywood, citing personal and industry challenges.
