ZAREEN ISN’T JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE!

Few people talk about taboo subjects in India, and even fewer Bollywood celebrities, especially about a subject like menstrual hygiene. But not Zareen Khan! The actor was recently in Raipur to talk about important factors related to the subject.

Khan was invited as the chief guest for the one-day state level awareness workshop, which is an effort by the state government to create awareness about menstrual hygiene. Many girls from Chhattisgarh participated in it.

“I am humbled to be invited for such an important cause. It is a great initiative taken by the government and I am more than happy to create awareness through my speech,” Khan said.

“Thanks to Akshay Kumar who showcased the cause so beautifully through his lm Pad Man,” she added.

Agreed, Zareen!
