Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Pad Man is all set to hit the theatres this Friday. To spread awareness and remove the stigma attached to menstruation and menstrual hygiene, people from all corners are taking up the #PadManChallenge.
With B-Town celebrities like Aamir Khan, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Varun Dhawan, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar among others taking up the #PadManChallenge by sharing a picture of themselves with a sanitary pad, the challenge has become a rage on social media.
While Alia completed the challenge by 'hanging around' in her gym, Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao took it to the next level by making a small and meaningful video for the same. Just when we thought that it can't get better than that, a fan of Akshay Kumar surprised us by taking the #PadManChallenge to another lever.

This fan Subrata Singh did skydiving in Dubai and while she we mid-air, she unfurled a huge cloth banner of Akshay Kumar's Pad Man. She got the entire act captured in a video and shared it on her Twitter account.
Thank you @arjunk26.@RajkummarRao & I are just out here hanging out in a chemist’s shop holding a pad.

Yes, that’s a Pad in my hand & there's nothing to be ashamed about. It's natural! Period. @PadManTheFilm #PadManChallenge.

In the video, she expresses how she's a big fan of the Akshay, especially because of the socially relevant issues that he takes up in his movies. She seemed pretty excited to watch the movie a day before India does.
Subrata even got a shout out from Khiladi Kumar. Akshay shared her video writing, "SUBRATA SINGH Thank you so much Subrata for your immense love...this video proves you're as mad as Pad Man"
