Recently, an actress shared her experience with menstruation and garnered praise for her bold and honest message.
‘Nerkonda Paarvai’ actress Shraddha Srinath took to Instagram to share her message about the incident that made her a feminist.
She posted an image of herself and captioned it, “I was 14. At a family pooje (prayer), I got my period. I was not accompanied by my mom, so I nudged my aunt sitting next to me and worriedly informed her of it (because I was not carrying a sanitary pad. Another good-natured lady sitting close, saw me worried and overheard me and said to me, reassuringly, ‘Don’t worry child, God will forgive you’ (for being part of the pooja while menstruating). That’s the day I became a feminist and a non-believer. I was 14.”
Fans and celebrities have appreciated her message and supported her in the comments to her post.
On the work front, Shraddha Srinath will reportedly star alongside Madhavan in the romantic comedy film ‘Maara’ directed by Dhilip Kumar. ‘Maara’ is the Tamil remake of the Malayalam film ‘Charlie’, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Parvathy Thiruvothu in the lead roles.
