OXFORD – Twinkle Khanna and Malala Yousafzai recently got together topromote Akshay Kumar’s upcoming movie ‘PadMan’ and emphasize on theimportance of menstrual hygiene.
Twinkle said, “I hope this movie becomes a movement: where women are nolonger held back or shamed by their biological functions.”
She said further ,”My primary motivation to make a movie on menstruationwas to bring awareness to a subject that so far has been tucked away inshadows and like Voldemort is never mentioned.”
However, what took an interesting turn was when this picture became viralon the internet; showing Malala with Twinkle Khanna and several otherpeople holding sanitary pads in their hands.
Least surprisingly, people were not happy with this ‘inappropriate’ act.
Some people thought it was ‘unethical’ too and very appropriately broughtin religion and how mothers should be bringing up their children.
What was refreshing to see was that many people came in support of thismovement and supported the cause.
‘Padman’ stars Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles.
