Washington [US], May 28 (ANI): Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar on Friday urged all to break taboos surrounding menstruation, on the occasion of World Menstrual Hygiene Day.
The 'Housefull 3' actor took to his Twitter handle and tweeted, "Today is World Menstrual Hygeine day. Doing #Padman in 2018 opened my eyes to what women go through because of stigma and lack of basic sanitary facilities. Thankfully things are improving by the year. @mrsfunnybones and I will forever stay with the cause. #BreakTheTaboo."
Akshay cited his 2018 release 'Pad Man' to highlight the issue. The R. Balki film was inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a small-town entrepreneur from Tamil Nadu who invented low-cost sanitary napkins to generate awareness in rural areas. The film also stars Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor in key roles.
