Ravi Shastri takes up Pad Man Challenge, gets trolled on Twitter as ‘Peg Man’
The ‘Pad Man Challenge’ has been in the news for a while now. It started during promotion of the movie about an initiative started off by Arunachalam Muruganantham, on whom the upcoming film Pad Man is based.
The film stars Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor, and talks about the taboo around sanitary pads in society.
