#PadManChallenge: Anushka Sharma-Varun Dhawan nail the challenge; will Karan Johar, Katrina Kaif & Tiger Shroff follow?

Sui Dhaaga co-stars Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan are the latest B-Town celebs to take up the #PadManChallenge which has now become a rage on social media. More and more celebrities are joining in the chain of the Pad Man Challenge every day, aiming to create awareness about the stigma attached to menstruation and menstrual hygiene. 

The Pad Man Challenge requires one to post their picture holding a sanitary pad, along with a message. Once you've taken up the challenge, you are required to keep the chain going by nominating your friends to take it up too. 

Varun and Anushka shared their picture and wrote alongside, ". @Varun_dvn & I just hanging out, holding a pad, no big deal, just another regular day 

Best of luck @akshaykumar @sonamakapoor @radhika_apte for #PadMan. Nominating @karanjohar #katrina @iTIGERSHROFF. It was discussed and these are both our nominations!!!"
