Maharashtra Assembly elections are underway across 288 constituencies, with over 4,000 candidates contesting. Key battles include the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance versus the Congress-led MVA.
After top Bollywood celebrities, including Aamir Khan, Deepika Padukone, Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and many others took up the Pad Man Challenge, TV stars are up for the task now.
The popular face of TV, Mouni Roy, who will soon be making her debut in the film Gold, starring with Akshay Kumar took up the challenge to Instagram and captioned, “Yes, that’s a pad in my hand & that’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s natural. Thank you for the challenge. @akshaykumar sir. All my best wishes @twinklerkhanna ma’am @sonamkapoor @radhikaofficial,” I further challenge @iamsanjeeda @aashkagoradia to accept & carry forward the #PadmanChallenge xx
Meanwhile, the newly-married couple Aashka Goradia and Brent Goble, too, took up the Pad Man challenge. She posted an Instagram video and wrote, “Yes, that’s a pad in @ibrentgoble‘s favorite travel bag and that’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s natural. Period!
Thank you for bringing attention to this subject and best wishes for the revolution(film). Thank you for the most beautiful and inspiring @imouniroy for the challenge, I further challenge @abigail_pande and @adaakhann.”
Pad Man is all set to release on February 9 in which Akshay Kumar plays the role of Arunachalam Muruganantham, the real-life hero and inventor of a low-cost sanitary pad-making machine who is credited for innovating grassroots mechanisms for generating awareness about traditional unhygienic practices around menstruation in rural India.
