It is important to talk openly about periods
In an exclusive interview with Hauterfly, Heeramandi actress Sanjeeda Sheikh emphasised on how important it is for women to be open about their periods. She said, “I have been very vocal about my periods on the sets. I am someone who can go up to the director and say that I am on my periods.
I shot a mujra on the first day of my periods
She said, “I shot my mujra (Nazariya ki Maari) for Hiramandi on the first day of my periods. For me, the second day of periods becomes very uncomfortable. It becomes tough. I was so engrossed in whatever I was doing that I would forget all the pain. But on that day, they would make me pack up early because I would tell them that I was feeling a little uncomfortable, and if I take some rest, I would feel better the next day.”
Sanjeeda said, people will think that you are irritable
She said that it happens. You should express yourself. If you don’t tell them, they will think that you are very irritable. It is better that you tell them beforehand why you are getting irritable. She said that women who are not comfortable talking about periods should become so.
