Trending News: Social media has become an integral part of our lives and it's not just the common people who are hooked to it, but also our political leaders. Union Minister Smriti Irani is one such minister who is pretty active on social media and shares updates about her personal and professional life. Recently, the Women and Child Development Minister shared a throwback video on Instagram, which has gone viral on the platform.
The video features Smriti Irani in her first-ever advertisement for a big company, which was shot 25 years ago. In the ad, she talks about menstrual hygiene and addresses the taboo around it. The commercial highlights the importance of menstrual hygiene and encourages women to have an open conversation about it.
Despite the taboo surrounding the topic, Smriti Irani accepted the assignment as she was eager to start her stint in front of the camera, the BJP leader mentioned in the caption. She believed that there was no reason why a conversation on menstrual hygiene should be a taboo subject. Since then, there has been no looking back for her.
