Madhoo Shah comments on Deepika Padukone's 'Spirit' exit
Actor Madhoo Shah weighed in on Deepika Padukone leaving Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Spirit, saying, "Everything in life is negotiation, and one must know their worth."
She pointed out that Deepika, as a new mom, needed more time but the filmmakers didn't agree—so things just didn't work out.
Deepika asked for an 8-hour workday
Deepika reportedly asked for an eight-hour workday, a share of the profits, and to skip Telugu dialogues. The makers said no to these requests, leading her to step away.
This has sparked conversations in the industry about how actors—especially new mothers—are treated when they set boundaries.
Madhoo supports women challenging old-school work rules
Madhoo also voiced support for women challenging old-school work rules in films. She said their efforts are making things easier for others and that walking away can be a sign of self-worth.
Meanwhile, she's staying busy herself with her upcoming Telugu movie Kannappa.
