Keerthy Suresh on Deepika Padukone working hours

Keerthy Suresh on Deepika Padukone working hours. Keerthy Suresh who is set to entertain viewers with her upcoming film Revolver Rita speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on 8 hours working hours propagated and followed by Deepika Padukone.

She said “For a 9 o’clock shift, if I have to be there by 7:30 AM, I have to start from home at 6:30 AM and wake up by 5:30 AM. And when you pack up by 6-6:30 PM, you leave by 7 PM to go back and change. By the time you reach back home, it’s 8:15 PM. We change and go to work out by 8:30 PM, and by the time you’re done, it’s 10 PM. You shower, have dinner, and it’s already 11 PM. Now, I have to wake up at 5:30 AM after sleeping at 11:30 PM.”

She continued “We say 8 hours of sleep is good, but we hardly get to sleep for 6 hours. And this is in an ideal 9-6 shift. Imagine us shooting for more hours, imagine the technicians reaching sets before and packing up after us,” she explained, adding, “In Tamil and Telugu, we usually have a standard of 9-6. But in Malayalam and Hindi, they work for 12 hours. In Malayalam, they work without breaks in continuous schedules, and it’s difficult. They sleep 3-4 hours, and lightmen in Kerala sleep 2-3 hours. However, sleep is just as important as food or exercise.”
