By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 5 July 2026 11:01 AM ISTThe film industry is slowly changing, and many actors are now giving importance to their personal lives. Recently, actress Kajal Aggarwal shared that she now prefers fixed working hours instead of long shooting schedules. Her comments have started a fresh discussion in the industry.
A few weeks ago, Deepika Padukone made headlines after reports said she wanted to work only for limited hours each day. While some people supported her decision, others felt such conditions could make film production difficult because movie schedules depend on many actors and technicians.
Now, Kajal has expressed a similar opinion. She said that earlier in her career, she worked without thinking about time. She was ready to shoot for long hours whenever needed. However, life has changed after marriage and motherhood.
Kajal explained that her family is now her biggest priority. She wants to spend quality time with her husband and young son. Because of this, she clearly mentions her working conditions before signing a film. She prefers limited shooting hours and also avoids working on Sundays whenever possible.
According to Kajal, there is nothing wrong with artists asking for a healthy work-life balance. She believes every profession has fixed working hours, so the film industry can also move in that direction. She feels actors should not have to choose between their career and their family.
Many fans have praised Kajal for speaking openly about this topic. Others believe that producers and directors may need to adjust their schedules if more actors request similar work conditions. At the same time, some people feel that filmmaking is a team effort, and flexibility will always be important.
Kajal's views also show how the entertainment industry is changing with time. Today, many successful actresses continue acting after marriage and motherhood. They are proving that age is just a number and that women can balance both family and career successfully.
On the work front, Kajal is back in the spotlight with her upcoming projects. She is also making news for joining a new film starring Nandamuri Balakrishna. Her Hindi film The India Story is also set for release later this month. With her positive outlook and balanced approach, Kajal continues to inspire many working women.
