Deepika Padukone was in the news after her exit from ‘Spirit’ and then ‘Kalki 2’. It is said that one of the demands of the actress was to work for eight hours and that may not have gone down well with the makers of these films.
At the same time, it has led to debate about transition dates, especially for actresses who have embraced motherhood. Many celebrities have offered their views on this discussion. Writer Shobha De added her perspective to the discussion, saying that only a select few stars have the clout to push for such conditions.In an interview with Rediff Originals, Dee said: “Well, in this category, there will be Deepika Padukone, there will be Priyanka Chopra. I don’t see a lot of other girls being able to negotiate those kind of terms.
They will be replaced immediately and will look for someone else. I mean, no one would care if Radhika Apte said, “I’ll just work for six hours or four hours or two hours or whatever.” Because in the end, cinema is business. It has to bring in money, and it has to get people into theatres. And there are very few leading ladies who can pull this off.

Why was Deepika Padukone excluded from the second part of Kalki 2898 trailer, and the real reason has been revealed!

“Priyanka and Deepika definitely belong to that category. So they can say that, and I’m sure that will gradually change things for others. But so far, even Hollywood has not been able to break that. Top stars in Hollywood can keep talking about pay disparity etc. They have been talking about this for the last 10-15 years.”
But nothing has changed. nothing.”Dee also touched on how motherhood affects the stars’ careers, expressing her doubts about whether everyone will be able to return to the same professional status. “I’m not at all convinced or sure if Katrina Kaif will be able to make that leap after her baby. I’m not sure if people will still look at

Alia Bhatt
who continued to thrive after becoming mothers, featured Dee. “These actresses that you’ve singled out are phenomenal on screen, and they give commercial performances. So it’s a different story. I don’t think people think of motherhood when they look at Alia. And they bounced back very quickly. They’re back in the game. They’re very much alive to their own potential and the kind of work they want to do, and in a position to dictate that.”
