\"Ram Ever since Deepika Padukone<\/a>\u2019s exit from Prabhas starrer \u2018Spirit\u2019, there\u2019s a debate around the long work shifts. As per reports, one of the demands made by Deepika was an eight-hour shift as she\u2019s now balancing motherhood with work after the birth of her daughter Dua. This has started a discussion and several celebs have weighed in on the matter. Now Ram Kapoor<\/a> has shared his views and recalled the long working hours in television, however, once he achieved that popularity, he could make a choice. He said during a chat with Firstpost, \u201cOnce you have achieved success in showbiz, whether as a star, as an actor, and people want to work with you, then, yes, you are in a position to choose how many hours you want to work. I have been in that position for many years. Even when I was doing TV, I used to decide how many hours I want to work. So I\u2019ve been lucky. Anybody who reaches a level where he doesn\u2019t have to find work is in that position to choose how many hours he or she wants to work. However, most of us actors, myself, of course, and I know a lot of my colleagues, we know that when we sign on a project, we have to do that project to the best that we can, because that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added further, \u201cWhen I was doing television, I said I would only work eight hours a day because television was nonstop, there were no seasons. It was every single day of every single month for three years, four years, five years. However, his approach shifted with time and the nature of projects. But now, when I\u2019m doing a film, I\u2019m doing an OTT show, like for Mistry, there were times I was working 14 hours a day, 16 hours a day. But it was only for four months.\u201d <\/p>\n

Do you think work-life balance should be prioritized in the entertainment industry?<\/p>\n

Ram added that he feels privileged for getting to do what he wants to do. \u201cI\u2019m very lucky that I\u2019m getting to do whatever I want to do, then I don\u2019t want to restrict myself. I have no reason to complain. This industry is very challenging. The hours are definitely too long. What they are saying, they are right in their own thinking, I\u2019m only saying that I feel very lucky, very blessed, that I have achieved so much in this line, which is very difficult,\u201d he said. This is why he doesn\u2019t complain. He said, \u201cAnd that is why I don\u2019t choose to complain about anything. I just want to stay in a state of happiness where I know how lucky I am. So you don\u2019t get into that negative frame of mind of complaining. You know what I\u2019m saying? But that\u2019s just for me. It doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m right and they are wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ever since Deepika Padukone\u2019s exit from Prabhas starrer \u2018Spirit\u2019, there\u2019s a debate around the long work shifts.
