Mumbai: The glamour industry was never a part of actress Kriti Sanon’s agenda. But fate had a different plan for her.
The actress is now preparing herself for Prabhu Deva’s Singh Is Bling with Akki, for which apparently Kareena was the first choice. The 25-year-old was in Bengaluru for a special cause, to break the myths around menstruation and be a part of ‘Touch The Pickle Movement’.
“I was horrified to find out that a startling percentage of women, even in Bengaluru do not go out or wash their hair during their periods. Some don’t even touch pickle for those five days, hence the movement was given the name,” says the actress who feels strongly about the subject.
Given that it is the most natural phenomenon that occurs, she adds, “The initiative was taken up to break such taboos that have been passed on from generations and to stir a social change in the system. Before anyone else, women need to accept that neither does life stop, nor does it change for those few days in a month.”
Kriti is now taking dance lessons for Singh Is Bling. “I am playing the role of a dancer and I need to learn a couple of western dance forms. Though I enjoy dancing, I am worried about losing weight. So I keep hogging to ensure I don’t become skinny,” states the actress who is currently looking to buy a flat in Mumbai.
