Kunal Kemmu Faces Backlash Over Comments on Deepika Padukone’s 8-Hour Work Shift Debate

Actor Kunal Kemmu recently addressed Deepika Padukone's alleged demand for eight-hour work shifts. During a conversation on Soha Ali Khan's podcast, Kemmu said that a woman should "plan her pregnancy better." He said that no one can expect to earn more money while working fewer hours. People have reacted to his comments.

During a conversation with Soha Ali Khan, Kemmu said, "Become a producer, invest your own money, then you'll be the boss. Then you can decide whether you want to work only two hours or not. It's much easier to do that on someone else's dime."

He further said, "You have a choice. There's a nine-month incubation period. You can plan for it. You've decided to become a mother, and you've planned for it. You have to plan it properly. Your planning can't affect the way the world works."
