In one such heart-to-heart conversation with HAUTERRFLY, Shruti Haasan shed some light on women working in movies even while enduring the challenge of menstruation. The actress revealed how many women suffer from periods and period cramps even while shooting for films.

Talking more in detail about the conditions of women during mensuration, Shruti said it would be a great deal if people had more sensibility in that department. She even defined it as a double-edged sword, with women having to deal with a constant battle with their bodies while the body is just doing what it was designed to do.
Shruti went on to conclude with how some women have comfortable periods, but many, like herself, don’t. They only want to have something warm with themselves and cry a little bit because of how painful it can be.
