Mumbai: Actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani shared her 25-12 months-outdated commercial for a sanitary pad firm which talks about menstrual hygiene and breaking the taboo. Sharing the video, she stated at the moment, such a venture might kill the glamour-primarily based profession of the mannequin.
However, issues turned out in a different way for Smriti, who’s presently the Minister for Women & Child Development and Minority Affairs.
Taking to Instagram, the minister shared the outdated commercial by which she could be seen in white garments as she discusses intervals and the way “those five days” are thought of such a giant deal.
She wrote: “When your past ‘whispers’ …. 25 years ago, my first ad ever for a big company. However, the subject was not a fancy one. In fact such was the product that many were averse to the assignment since a sanitary pad advertisement ensured the death of a glamour based career for the model involved.”
“Eager to start my stint in front of the camera I said yes! After all why should a conversation re menstrual hygiene be taboo. Since then there has been ‘no looking back’ #throwbackthursday. p.s- yes I was thin ..ye yaad dilaane ki zaroorat nahi,” she posted.
