Twinkle Khanna says she will work for reproductive rights next

Twinkle who attended the success celebration of her film and discussion organised by UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to discuss the taboo around menstrual hygiene, said: "I don't know about a movie but next I would like to work for the reproductive rights and that would be my next venture.

Asked whether she would like to produce a biopic of her father Rajesh Khanna or husband Akshay Kumar, Khanna remarked, "No.. I am interested in stories which have layers to it and which have larger ramification. It's great for somebody to write a story which is about one person's life but for me, there has to be layers and the story has to have message and that's what I believe in.

"We did not know whether people would take it and at this point in time, both, the commercial and the critical success has been overwhelming. Who would have thought, even five years ago, that Balki and Akshay (Kumar) would make people watch a movie on sanitary pads? But we did it and we are really happy right now. PadMan is more than movie. I am hoping its part of a movement where women are no longer held back or embarrassed by their biology. I think commercials also should stop showing blue liquids on sanitary pads instead of red, the former actor said.

"Today, 80 percent of our women who are using cloth or other things should be able to use hygienic products during their days of menstruation. When we began PadMan, we were very clear that this is a movie that would initiate a conversation about menstruation and menstrual health upon the collective consciousness of this country and I am really glad to see that happening, Twinkle said.

Reacting to the ban in the neighbouring country, Twinkle said: "I think women menstruate no matter where you put a boundary or a border. We as women menstruate this side (India) and that side (Pakistan) so it's important for them to see it as well and I wish that they would change their mind and show the movie.
