Tridha Choudhury Reacts To Long Working Hours In The Industry

Addressing the topic of gender disparity and long working hours, Tridha shared, “Mujhe ye gender disparity ka tabhi hi pata chala jab maine padha. I think it’s not about the actor or the actress, ek human perspective se aap dekhoge na,” she explained, before shifting focus to the often-overlooked backbone of filmmaking.

Highlighting the contribution of technicians, she pointed out how those behind the camera usually shoulder the industry’s longest hours. “For example, humare technicians ko dekho. Technicians work the hardest – gaffer, lightman, woh sabse pehle aate hai aur sabse last mein nikalte hai, kyunki unki lighting ke bagair hum itne khoobsurat nahi dikh sakte. The scene is not set without the technicians.” Acknowledging their effort must go beyond words.

At the same time, Tridha maintained a balanced stance when speaking about actors. “As actors, I won’t complain. Honestly, we do get a lot of comfort. We don’t get luxury, but we get comfort, because at the end of the day, Sajne ke baad, we are not getting treated like princesses. We have to be alert.”

However, when it comes to work schedules, she firmly believes the industry needs structure. “I think a standard policy should be within 10–12 hours,” she said, stressing that overworking doesn’t translate into better output. “Bohot baar joh log double shifts mein kaam karke kaam nikalwate hain, usse kaam kharab hota hai.”

Explaining how exhaustion reflects on screen, Tridha added, “You don’t get the correct expression, you look stale on screen. Aap joh 10th hour ke baad, after the 14th hour dikhoge na, it just loses its essence.” For her, empathy makes all the difference. “Joh log ek insaan ke roop mein treat karte hain, ki okay, insaan hai, sabko time pe ghar jaana hai, they also have their personal commitments.” Despite the challenges, she acknowledged that her personal journey has largely been positive. “Mostly, I have had a good experience,” she concluded with quiet assurance.

Tridha Choudhury’s perspective brings a much-needed sense of realism to conversations around working conditions in the entertainment industry. By shifting the focus from glamour to humanity, she underlines the importance of balance, empathy, and sustainable creativity. As the industry evolves, voices like hers continue to remind us that good work thrives not in exhaustion, but in respect and rhythm.
