Describing rest as a matter of basic dignity and not a privilege, the actor asked whether those who work to keep guests comfortable are given the same care at their own workplaces.

We see staff standing for 10-12 hours at airport counters, lounges, hotel receptions and service desks, welcoming and serving us with a smile. But have we ever thought about how physically exhausting this must be? I strongly believe every such workplace should have a mandatory high stool or proper seating arrangement, allowing staff to sit and rest whenever work permits.

Hospitality is about making people feel comfortable. Shouldn’t we extend the same consideration to the people who make us comfortable? A little rest is not a privilege. On the professional front, Sood is currently working on an upcoming film titled 'Nandi'.

He was last seen in the 2025 action thriller 'Fateh', which also marked his directorial debut. Get the latest Bollywood & Entertainment News, and more. Download the TOI app. Give your child the gift of confidence!
