Twinkle Khanna turned producer with Akshay Kumar's PadMan, a film which talks about spreading awareness on menstrual hygiene. In an interview to BBC News, Twinkle Khanna had said, "I thought this was a remarkable story which really needed to reach every household in India, and globally, because I think the taboo around menstruation is not just in India, it's a global problem."
PadMan, also starring Sonam Kapoor, hits the screens on February 9.
