Akshay Kumar: Men need to understand need of menstrual hygiene.

Actor Akshay Kumar says men should
understand the need of menstrual hygiene
for the women in their lives.
Akshay also featured in "Pad Man", which
tells a story of social entrepreneur
Arunachalam Muruganantham's journey to
make affordable sanitary napkins.
Directed by R. Balki, "Pad Man" is based on a
short story from Twinkle Khanna's book
"The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad". It is a story
of how one man came up with a
revolutionary method of producing cost-
effective sanitary napkins and empowered
thousands of women across the country in
the process.
"With the world television premiere of 'Pad
Man', I am glad that the movie will reach
every household. I would like to urge the
audience to watch the movie with the entire
family," Akshay said in a statement to IANS.
"Every husband, father, brother, and son
should understand the need of menstrual
hygiene for the women in their lives and not
treat her like an outcast during those days
of her life. I want mothers to lead by
example for their children. I want daughters
to gain strength from vulnerability by
learning from what their mother didn't do,"
he added.
The film also stars Sonam Kapoor and
Radhika Apte. The film will air on May 26 on
Zee Cinema.
Sonam says the film is very close to her
heart.
"I am extremely lucky to have had the
opportunity to work with such a wonderful
team and I would like to thank Balki sir and
Akshay for being such amazing people," she
said.
