Navya Naveli Nanda recently discussed the topic of menstruation and the taboo surrounding it along with her grandfather Amitabh Bachchan on a public forum.
She said, “Like he mentioned, it’s a sign of life. That’s not something that we should be ashamed of, or shy away from. Menstruation has been a taboo for a long time, but there has been progress. I’m sitting on stage today with my grandfather and talking about periods, and that itself is a sign of progress. The fact that we are sitting on a platform today with many people watching us and having an open conversation about menstruation itself shows that we have progressed, not just as women but as a country.”
