Throwback to Priyanka Chopra revealing how she gets up by 5 am and steps out for 12-hour shifts, amid the 8-hour work debate

Priyanka Chopra has made her way to the top by giving her everything to the work. The actress had once opened up about her daily routine, indirectly implying that she has no time to cry about long working hours. In an interview, the global icon admitted that she, like everyone else, has terrible days, but the actress then reminds herself of how fortunate she is to be able to do what she does.

Here’s a closer look at her stance.

Priyanka Chopra on working hours

In last year's interview with Vogue India, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she works on a set for around 12 hours before leaving for home to her daughter Malti Marie Jonas and mom Madhu Chopra. PeeCee said that after reminding herself about how "privileged" she is to do the kind of work she does, the actress would put her feelings aside and deal with them at home.

In the same interview, Priyanka shared, "It’s been amazing to have them with me in Australia, but if I am being totally honest, it’s also really challenging and somewhat isolating to be so far away from everything." For the unversed, the actress was shooting her film 'Bluff' in Australia last year.

The 8-hour shift debate

The 8-hour shift debate started in Bollywood after it was reported in several media outlets that Deepika Padukone exited Sandeep Vanga Reddy over long shift hours and remuneration. Reportedly, the actress had demanded an 8-hour shift, which the filmmaker didn't agree with. Soon, this became a conversation starter, and several celebrities expressed their views on the same. Some supported it, while others gave varied answers.


Filmmaker Farah Khan, in her vlog, hinted that she is not aligned with 8-hour shifts. Meanwhile, Tamannaah Bhatia called work-life balance a lie.

Priyanka Chopra's projects

The actress was last seen in 'Heads of State' with Idris Elba and John Cena. She will next feature in SS Rajamouli's ambitious project starring Mahesh Babu as lead.
