Deepika Padukone Advocates for 8-Hour Workday, Support for New Mothers

Deepika Padukone, a famous actress and mother, believes that eight hours a day is enough for people to work.

She feels that we have started to think working too much is normal, which can make people feel very tired and stressed (burnout).

She thinks it's important to support mothers when they come back to work after having a baby.

Deepika also shared that for her, success now means feeling good physically and mentally, and having control over how she spends her time.

She wants to help make mental health care easier for everyone to get and afford, as there aren't enough doctors and therapists for the people who need them.

She thinks bringing children to work sometimes could also be a good idea.
