Actress Deepika Padukone, a mental health advocate, has expressed shock over statements made by the chairman of Larsen & Toubro, suggesting that employees should work on Sundays. L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan made the comments during an employee interaction when he was asked why the multi-billion dollar conglomerate was still making its employees work on Saturdays. Deepika took to her Instagram to condemn his comment, with the hashtag #mentalhealthmatters.

What did SN Subrahmanyan say?

Subrahmanyan has come under fire for saying that employees must work 90 hours a week. In an undated video that has emerged on Reddit, he said that he regrets not being able to make his employees work on Sunday too. "I regret I am not able to make you work on Sundays. If I can make you work on Sundays, I will be more happy, because I work on Sundays," Subrahmanyan was heard saying.
