Actress Trolled for Working Through Periods

Actress Ayesha Khan has spoken out about the online backlash she experienced after sharing her personal experience of working on her periods during the shoot of the song 'Shararat'. Speaking at a recent event, Khan described how her statement was unfortunately turned into a 'national joke', leading to widespread trolling.

Khan stressed the importance of educating men about menstruation, suggesting that the jokes originated from male respondents. She articulated her frustration with how personal experiences are often trivialized online, turning into sources of mockery. The actress firmly stated that women perform many tasks during their menstrual cycles, a fact she considers normal and not a reason for shame.

She further conveyed a sense of pride in her ability to work while menstruating, recounting a demanding two-day shoot for 'Shararat' where she felt overwhelmed due to her period and the intensive dancing. Khan shared that she was not embarrassed by the reactions, instead feeling empowered by her resilience and the ability of women to manage their routines despite menstrual discomfort. She urged for a more understanding and less judgmental public discourse on the matter.
