Padman Challenge: Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor And Rajkummar Rao Pose With A Sanitary Pad
With the passing years, the audience is now eagerly chasing the news of upcoming movies on real-life stories and biopics of celebrities. And, in this regard, Akshay Kumar, a popular Bollywood face has made a couple of biopics that already garnered enough critical acclaim and credits for his versatility in acting.
In addition to that, Akshay Kumar is all set to release his upcoming movie ‘Padman’. It is all about the establishment of sanitary pads used by women. His efforts in bringing such sensible movie must be well appreciated. Padman is a biographical social-drama film.
It is based on a short story in Twinkle Khanna’s book The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad and is inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social activist from Tamil Nadu.
The story is all about a social activist who revolutionized the concept of menstrual hygiene in rural India by creating a low-cost sanitary napkins machine. Padman revolves around the story of Arunachalam who invented low-cost sanitary pads. Now, as the release date of Padman is approaching soon, the actor thought of starting a challenge and promote the movie uniquely.
In this regard, Padman Challenge took off and it is one of the trending topics on social media today. Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur who invented the machine for manufacturing low-cost sanitary pads, initiated a #PadManchallenge on social media.
Yes that’s a Pad in my hand & there’s nothing to be ashamed about. It’s natural! Period. #StandByHer
