Producer of Pad
Man, Prernaa Arora, grew up in a very small town in North. "Ladies never
went out after sunset, so my mother was always at home in the evenings. Even
otherwise, she hardly moved out. We counted our Dad to get everything that was
required," she says matter-of-factly, while talking to SpotboyE.com.
"And this
included my sanitary pads, every month," she adds, "Dad and I never
spoke about this, lekin haan I remember that he was very particular and
supportive that women need to maintain hygiene during their menstrual cycle. I
remember then that I used to say to myself that my dad is a super hero."
Sonam Kapoor And Akshay Kumar In Pad Man
Akshay Kumar plays that super hero in her upcoming Pad Man which hits theatres
on Feb 9.
The film, which
is directed by R Balki and also produced by Twinkle Khanna, stars Sonam Kapoor
and Radhika Apte as the two female leads.
Talking about
Prernaa's father being involved in buying sanitary napkins for her, we are
reminded of Akshay Kumar sharing a story on stage at the Zee Cine Awards Nite a
few days ago.

Here goes the
story, as narrated by Akshay:
The incident took place a few years back.
Late in the night, Gurpreet was asleep when he suddenly woke up to find that
his wife was not beside him. Gurpreet got up to check the next room, where his
daughter was sleeping. He could hear soft whispers between his daughter and
wife.

While he could not hear the conversation word by word, he gauged that his
daughter’s menstrual cycle had begun and there were no sanitary pads in the
house. And the wife was telling the daughter that if she had informed her
earlier in the day, she would have made some provision.

When the wife got out of the room, he asked her what happened and she informed
him about the daughter’s issue. Gurmeet got out that very moment from his house
with the daughter and headed straight to a Day & Night medical shop.

After this incident, the bond between Gurpreet and his daughter strengthened
immensely and the two developed a very frank and warm equation with each other,
where the daughter till date does not hesitate to discuss any issue with her
father.
Coming back to
Prernaa, the lady is pretty confident about Pad Man's success.
