Radhika Apte dreams of changing working hours. Radhika Apte known for her frank views speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on working hours.
She said "I'll change the working hours to begin with. You can't expect someone to go an entire week without seeing their child. I've had multiple conversations and arguments over refusing to do long shifts. You'll be surprised at how much one has to fight. I find it quite baffling. And people say have a nanny and let them come on set. I'm sorry, but that's really not the answer."
Radhika Apte continued "non-negotiables when signing a script." She said that she would "appreciate a five-day work week and a 12-hour shift." "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 offs 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 a five day a week and a 12-hour shift."
