‘Pad Man’ Akshay Kumar makes an earnest appeal on Menstrual Hygiene Day

Today (May 28) is Menstrual Hygiene Day, an annual awareness day to highlight the importance of good menstrual hygiene management. Akshay Kumar, who starred in R Balki’s film ‘Pad Man’, took to his social media handle to wish all the girls, mothers and sisters out there on Menstrual Hygiene Day.

Sharing a still from the ‘Pad Man’ film, Khiladi Akshay Kumar wrote, “Let’s all help every girl child feel Hygienic, Safe & Confident every day of the month #Period”

In the still, we can see Akshay alongwith Radhika Apte and the female star cast of ‘Pad Man’. They all are holding sanitary napkins in their hands.

This R Balki film that released last year, was based on the life of social entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham who introduced low-cost sanitary pads. The film also starred Sonam Kapoor in a pivotal role.

Before ‘Pad Man’, we had another film titled ‘Phullu’ which was directed by Abhishek Saxena and starred Sharib Hashmi in a lead role. This film too highlighted the plight of women in rural areas who have no access to or can’t afford sanitary napkins.
