"My granddaughter is in her 20s and she has started her own organisation where she discovered that in the villages of India, women on their periods are ostracised - thrown out of their houses. She and her organisation are now building special homes in the villages - nice, comfortable homes - for these women to stay when they are on their periods. They have already constructed ten such homes," says Amitabh Bachchan at the Swasth India telethon. "At such a young age, young girls are thinking in this direction and that's a wonderful thought," he added.
