Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle: Kajol, a celebrated and recognizable name within the domain of Bollywood is noted for the controversy surrounding some comments she made during the series finale of ‘Two Much.’ She says acting is not hard, stating that actors, “work a little bit harder than maybe folks, who are working a normal 9 to 5 job.” Kajol may have believed she was making a cheeky comment about the job of a “working” actor, yet it comes across as tone deaf and condescending toward the strong work ethic of innumerable professions.

The 9-to-5 Job: A Myth

For many “working” professionals, it is a myth to call a job a “9-to-5.” Most employees are working longer hours than what is considered a traditional 9-to-5 job. A 9-to-5 job is not simply checking in and out; it is about delivering to various employer demands every day and working to tight deadlines. It is about managing expectations, the stress of hierarchy, embarrassingly petty internal politics, and the nagging thought about being “relevant” or “good” again.

Privilege and Perspective

Kajol’s comments overlook the privilege that accompanies established actors’ wealth. In addition to lucrative pay, actors have the resources supplied by management, household help, and assistants-all luxuries that most have little access to. Many people live in a daily swirl of long commutes, household upkeep, and family obligations without the glamour and financial reward.

Every Job Is Hard Job

Critics may argue that everybody has a work-life of difficulty. For example, a house help working in several homes each day, for other individuals, experiences a very different lifestyle, but one with the same struggles. Saying that one work-life “works harder” than another is inadequate to represent reality.

The Pushback

Kajol’s claim put a lot of people off, who want the public to have more humility about their lives. Rather than provide comparisons, there were observers who felt it served actors and, frankly, public figures better to acknowledge the privilege their profession provides while continuing to respect others’ daily hardships.
