PadMan, inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social activist from Tamil Nadu who introduced low-cost sanitary pads, has completed two years since release. The film started an open conversation on menstrual hygiene with its subject and touched many hearts with the treatment.
As the film completed two years, Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor shared a series of tweets saying how humbled she was to be part of PadMan cast with Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte. Sonam's father Anil Kapoor also shared a tweet on social media tagging PadMan filmmakers and congratulating them for making the special film in Bollywood.
"Creating a movie around social issues has always had its challenges. But as Padman completes 2 years, its been a truly humbling experience for me to play the part of Pari," Sonam shared on social media. She even posted candid pictures with the film's cast and crew to mark the occasion.
