Kangana Ranaut Says "Obsessive Work Culture" Should Be Normalised

Ms Ranaut said, "That's all western brainwashing we are not a developed nation yet we can't afford to be bored and lazy at all."

Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut recently shared her thoughts about work culture in India. The BJP MP said that people should normalise an "obsessive work culture" since India is still a developing nation. Ms Ranaut was reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first address to his team in the PMO in Delhi after taking oath, in which he said, "Together we have just one goal - Nation First. Just one intention - 2047 Viksit Bharat. I have said this publically, my each and every moment is for the country. I have also promised the country - 24x7 for 2047."

Ms Ranaut shared the video on her Instagram story and wrote, "We need to normalise obsessive work culture and stop with the waiting for the weekends and crib about Mondays memes." 

She continued, "That's all western brainwashing we are not a developed nation yet we can't afford to be bored and lazy at all." 

This comes as many industry leaders have been voicing their opinions on work culture and how the youth of the country should work for long hours to compete effectively on the global stage. Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy's comments had ignited a social media storm after he remarked that people should work 70 hours a week to boost the country's overall work productivity and economy.
