Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Swara Bhasker, Sonam Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, Ayushmann Khurrana, Aditi Rao Hydari, Arjun Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte, and Sophie Choudhary all posed with a pad in their hand.

“Yes, that’s a pad in my hand & there's nothing to be ashamed about. It's natural! Period. #PadManChallenge

With the PadMan challenge, the makers hope to bust myths and taboos surrounding periods.
