Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The online conversation about work-life balance, recently ignited by Deepika Padukone's commitment to an eight-hour workday, has a new voice. Actress and entrepreneur Genelia Deshmukh has weighed in, offering a different perspective shaped by her own multifaceted career and personal drive.
In a recent interview, Genelia revealed that she often works 10-hour shifts. However, she emphasized that her schedule is driven by personal choice and a deep love for what she does. "I work for 10 hours, but that is my choice," she stated, adding that her passion makes her a "workaholic" in the best sense of the word.
Her comments add another layer to the debate sparked by Padukone, who advocated for a structured five-day, eight-hour work week to prioritize health and personal time. While some praised Deepika for setting healthy boundaries, others viewed it as a privilege not available to everyone.
Genelia’s perspective is unique as she balances her acting career with being a mother of two and co-founding the plant-based food company, Imagine Meats, with her husband, Riteish Deshmukh. She explained that her work is not just a job but a source of fulfillment, which is why she willingly dedicates long hours to it. "I love my work and I am very passionate about it," she said.
Ultimately, Genelia’s contribution highlights that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a career. While some find balance in setting firm boundaries, others, like Genelia, find fulfillment in longer hours fueled by passion. Her stance reframes the conversation from a rigid debate over hours to a more personal reflection on what drives individual success and happiness.
