Earlier there used to be 9-6 shifts…
This definitely happened earlier. There used to be 9-6 shifts in the industry. Then it increased slowly. Now things have to be delivered in 5-6 days. It is your own wish how you want to work. The doctor has not prescribed you to do this work. I think it depends on how you feel and how much work you can do. Many times when I go somewhere, I tell there that I have other things scheduled so I will finish the work soon. Many times when coordination is achieved then things get done. ‘

Do TV actors have to work more?
Along with this, Manish Wadhwa was asked in the same conversation whether TV actors have to work more hours than Bollywood actors? So on this he replied boldly and said, ‘No, it is not like that. Let me tell you, but if you think about how many hours I have to work, then when we go to the movies, sometimes the shifts are of 12-13 hours. Whether we committed that rebellion or committed the Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Or I am doing South, I am working in many more films.

There should be no complaints…
The actor further says, ‘It depends on where you have reached while walking. There is a time in a film when you have to be released. But in TV, there is a daily release, so there is a restriction that one has to work. You keep working as per your wish. I don’t think anyone should complain about this.
