\nDeepika Padukone<\/a>\u00a0rightly said, \u201cWe\u2019ve normalised overworking. We mistake burnout for commitment. Eight hours of work a day is enough for the human body and mind. Only when you\u2019re healthy can you give your best. Bringing a burnt-out person back into the system helps no one.\u201d Deepika said that at her office, they follow a strict 5-day and 8-hour work policy with sufficient maternity and paternity breaks. \u201cIn my own office, we work eight hours a day, Monday to Friday.
