02 Feb, 2018

With Padman close to release, Bollywood is taking part in the Padman challenge.

The challenge was started by Arunachalam Muruganantham, the man on whom the film is based.

The social entrepreneur took to Twitter to post a picture of himself holding a pad.

Said Muruhanantham in his tweet, "Yes that’s a Pad in my hand & there's nothing to be ashamed about. It's natural! Period."

To continue the #PadmanChallenge, he tagged Twinkle Khanna, Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in his post.

Twinkle Khanna responded to the challenge, tagging more of her Bolly friends.

Aamir Khan, usually not vocal on Twitter, was quick to join in, posting a picture of himself holding a pad and challenging SRK, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.

So did Harsh Goenka, chairman of RPG Enterprises.

Looks like Padman is making an impact before its release on February 9. We can't wait to see who else will join the challenge!

Why are pak media covering this, the topic does not needs this level of coverage, with the reality people's are facing in pak! There are really important women issues that needs attention! If it was Pakistani artists ,pak media would not cover this topic! Reality check!

The idea is not to flaunt pads in everyone's face but to make people understand that women do get periods and it is okay to talk about it. The periods are a natural human body process so the women should not be looked down upon for it and men should understand women issues instead of beating them and imposing their will upon them. If you want to love a woman then you must first understand her physically and mentally and you will never go wrong. In fact you will love and understand your mother, wife, daughter, co-workers etc better and respect them.
