**Mumbai, India** – Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has publicly criticized L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan for his comments suggesting employees should work on Sundays. Padukone, a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, shared her disapproval on Instagram, calling the remarks “shocking.”
Subrahmanyan’s comments, which surfaced in a viral Reddit video, sparked a heated online debate about work-life balance. He reportedly expressed regret at not being able to make his employees work on Sundays, suggesting they spend their time unproductively at home.
Padukone’s Instagram posts included screenshots of news reports covering Subrahmanyan’s statement and L&T’s subsequent, widely criticized, response attempting to justify the chairman’s remarks. L&T’s statement emphasized their commitment to nation-building and achieving extraordinary outcomes through extraordinary effort.
Padukone’s criticism highlights the growing concern over employee well-being and the pressure to maintain a constant work schedule. Her actions underscore the importance of prioritizing mental health, a cause she champions through her Live Love Laugh Foundation. The actress, who publicly discussed her own battle with depression, has become a prominent voice in advocating for better mental health practices. The incident follows recent news of Padukone and her husband Ranveer Singh welcoming their first child last September.
