Ashamed

Radhika:
Our
Country
Is
Ashamed
Of
Sexuality
Starting
with
the
poster
in
the
shape
of
a
sanitary
napkin,
Radhika
feels
the
film
will
help
overcome
the
hesitation
which
surrounds
a
natural
process
that
a
woman
goes
through
every
month.
"I
think
our
country
is
very
ashamed
of
sexuality,
physicality,
or
human
body.
Anything
to
do
with
human
body
or
sexuality
is
a
problem
here," Radhika
told
IANS
over
phone
from
Mumbai.
Radhika
Has
Often
In
News
For
Being
Bold
Despite
the
critical
acclaim
coming
her
way
aplenty,
Radhika
has
often
been
in
news
for
being
bold
in
her
films--
be
it
an
intimate
scene
with
co-star
Adil
Hussain
in
Parched
being
leaked
online,
or
a
clip
of
a
semi-nude
Radhika
from
an
Anurag
Kashyap-directed
short
film
making
its
way
on
to
the
web.
Radhika:
I’m
Not
Going
To
Feel
Awkward
The
actress
has
never
tried
to
sweep
the
matter
under
the
rug,
and
believes
in
talking
about
it
instead
of
opting
for
silence.
"Yes,
there
is
a
whole
thing
of
generations
of
being
awkward
about
things,
but
if
you
start
taking
a
decision
like
'Okay,
I
am
not
going
to
feel
like
that',
it
will
make
a
difference," she
said.
Radhika
On
Menstruation
The
actress
said
a
natural
process
like
menstruation
should
be
spoken
about.
"It
should
not
feel
awkward
touching
the
pad
in
front
of
people.
These
are
small
things
with
which
people
have
issues," she
added.
‘It’s
High
Time
We
Change
It’
According
to
Radhika
-
who
is
associated
with
sanitary
napkin
brand
Whisper
India
as
an
‘influencer',
it
is
not
only
men
who
have
issues
talking
about
it.
"Women
also
have
issues
about
it.
It
is
all
a
part
of
society
and
upbringing,
and
it
is
high
time
we
change
it,"
she
said.
Radhika
On
Her
Next
Film
‘Pad
Man’
Filmmaker
R.
Balki
has
picked
the
story
of
Arunachalam
Muruganantham
to
narrate
through
‘Pad
Man',
with
actors
Akshay
Kumar,
Sonam
Kapoor
and
Radhika
in
the
lead
roles.
Ask
Radhika
about
how
his
story
is
getting
a
Bollywood
makeover,
and
she
says
she
is
‘absolutely
not' allowed
to
talk
about
it,
but
things
are
heading
in
the
right
direction.
Radhika
Is
Happy
To
Do
‘Pad
Man’
"All
I
can
I
say
is
that
as
you
know
it
is
about
a
pad
man
and
has
a
sanitary
napkin
on
the
poster.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
scope
for
imagination.
I
am
very
happy
that
something
like
this
is
being
handled
at
such
a
big
level
in
Bollywood," said
Radhika,
who
hails
from
Pune
and
lives
in
London
with
her
husband
Benedict
Taylor.
