From SRK to Aishwarya, 5 actors who proved taking breaks from work improve productivity
Looking to improve your productivity and overall job performance? Researchers suggest taking a break might be the key to it. Yes, that's right, a break is the hack to boosting productivity, and science backs it! According to NIH researchers, a short break not only helps increase performance but also helps in learning a new skill.
How does taking breaks improve productivity?
While yes, it may sound counter-productive, but stay with us as we try to explain how it actually works. A 2014 study involving a survey of employees revealed almost 85% of them believed taking regular breaks throughout the day helps boost productivity.
On the other hand, if employees are not able to take breaks or their annual time-offs or allocated leaves the stress of the everyday job becomes too much to handle which ultimately leads to feelings of burnout. According to research, this not only impacts performance and hinders growth but leads to employees actually quitting and leaving the organisation altogether.
Taking regular short breaks as well as your PTOs is the best way to maintain a healthy work-life balance that will not only keep you happy in your personal life but will also result in you thriving in your profession.

Bollywood actors who made a great comeback after a break
1) Shah Rukh Khan
Bollywood's King Khan suffered a crushing loss when his film Zero failed to vow the audience in 2018. After taking a break and tackling the Covid-19 pandemic, Shah Rukh Khan made a grand comeback and delivered three back-to-back massive hits like Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki in 2023.
2) Rani Mukherjee
Rani Mukherjee took a break from acting following the birth of her daughter after the release of her 2014 film Mardaani and returned to the silver screen with a bang with her quirky film Hichki in 2018.
3) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Aishwarya took a break after her highly anticipated film opposite Hrithik Roshan, Guzaarish, tanked at the box office in 2010 but made an inspiring comeback with her solid portrayal of a lawyer in the 2015 film Jazbaa.
4) Kajol
Kajol took a break after her 2006 film Fanaa following her marriage and the birth of her children but made a solid comeback and vowed the audiences with her film My Name is Khan opposite Shah Rukh Kahn in 2010.
5) Salman Khan
Back in the early 2000s Salman Khan faced several legal troubles which also had a huge impact on his career, where his films did not perform well at the box office. But after his much-deserved break, he made a rocking comeback with his hit 2009 film Wanted and has ruled the box-office ever since!
While most of us mere mortals do not have the luxury to take breaks upwards of a couple of weeks, unlike the Bollywood elite. Even so, short breaks throughout the workday or a quick vacation every now and then can work wonders for your performance and productivity.
