Dhaka, Oct. 14 -- When the entire industry was in a frenzy over Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's eight-hour work schedule, Konkona Sen Sharma spoke up for the actress. She said that not only actors and actresses, but everyone needs rest.

After Deepika's exit from two consecutive films, questions have been raised about the actress's professionalism. Recently, Konkona was heard speaking on Deepika's behalf.

Regarding Deepika's 8-hour work, Konkona said, "I think the entire industry needs to be humane. We are also human, so we also need rest. We should limit ourselves to a weekend off and a specific time of work."
