Why should period stop women from doing anything, asks Radhika Apte

New Delhi March 9 (IANS) Actress Radhika Apte has stressed on the importance of awareness about menstruation in the country questioning why should a natural monthly process stop a girl from doing regular stuff.

The actress who is associated with Whisper India as the brand s influencer asserted that a factor like menstruation should not be kept in mind while deciding any activity. And so it s vital for women to be ultra comfortable during those days.

Pushing this idea Radhika told IANS over phone from Mumbai: I think that it is crucial because the constant reminder when you are chumming that I am on period does stop you from doing certain things.

For example if I am chumming I will be like Oh my god I have to shoot a song today or Oh my god I have to wear this today or some people say I have extra hours of work or I don t know should I go for picnic or play Holi. Why should your period which is actually something that you have to go through every month stop you from doing anything.

Radhika will also be seen in Pad Man a movie on Arunachalam Muruganantham who introduced low-cost sanitary pad-making machines.
