Every woman\u2019s life is filled with unique experiences. The one common occurrence that every woman goes through is her period, but not everyone is educated about this bodily function at the appropriate age.\u00a0\u00a0Today, on World Menstrual Hygiene Day, our series \u2018Periods and I\u2019 takes a new route to showcase how period education is vital to help you #GoWithYourFlow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Our #NuaWoman and ambassador of our period care range, Deepika Padukone, reveals her journey\u2019s beginnings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Deepika Padukone is the most sought-after actor in the Indian film industry and has excelled in this pursuit because of her hard work and dedication. But just like every other girl, she too had to be informed about menstruation and periods.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cI will never forget that moment. I was around 11-12 years old when my best friend Divya and I were sat down by our mothers. Jaishree aunty, Divya\u2019s mother, took charge and mentioned they wanted to talk to us about something.\u201d Deepika recalls being explained what periods were and why a woman goes through the process and surprisingly they had never heard of it before.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\u201cThe discussion happened even before we were educated about the topic in school. I\u2019m so grateful to have her explain it to us with such patience, empathy and most importantly with a lot of comfort.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
She goes on to describe that at no point did the two young girls feel uncomfortable during that conversation. \u201cI hope moving forward, I\u2019m able to do the same with my children or even the children around me.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
