One of the classic movies of the Bollywood industry ‘PadMan’ was based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social activist from Tamil Nadu, who invented low-cost sanitary pads so that even underprivileged women could afford it easily. The movie got released in 2018. PadMan has clocked 2 years and it truly won many hearts with its sensible subject.
Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who was a part of the movie recently shared two tweets on her social media congratulating the entire team for making the unique film in Bollywood.

Last but not the least, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Arunachalam Muruganantham, whose selfless perseverance for the safety of women in our country was simply extraordinary and I'm honoured that you trusted us to tell your story to the world.#Padman

Not just Sonam Kapoor but her father and veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor too shared an old video of himself with Rajkummar Rao on his social media account.
In the shared video, Anil Kapoor is seen as a shopkeeper while actor Rajkummar Rao is seen as a customer who comes to purchase a sanitary pad from his shop. To tell you, the video was released two years ago at the time of PadMan’s release.

For the unversed, the movie also stars Radhika Apte in a pivotal role other than Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor. The movie is helmed by R Balki and has also won the National Award for Best Film on Social Issues.
Talking about Sonam Kapoor’s work front, the actress was last seen with Dulquer Salman in Abhishek Sharma’s movie The Zoya Factor. The movie did average earnings at the box office however, it failed to impress the audience and the critics alike.
