Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor starrer PadMan’s unique promotion strategy seems to be working well. Yes, we are talking about the ‘PadMan Challenge’. From Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma to Sonam Kapoor’s rumoured beau Anand Ahuja and many more have shared pictures posing with a sanitary pad.

The inspiration behind PadMan, Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur who invented the machine for manufacturing low-cost sanitary pads, initiated a #PadManChallenge on social media. In the challenge, one has to click a photo with a sanitary pad and post it online while tagging other people who you want to take up the challenge next.

The challenge was kicked off by Arunachalam Muruganantham, Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor and producer Twinkle Khanna themselves. Arjun Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana, Swara Bhaskar, Sophia Choudry, Dia Mirza, Aamir Khan, Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi, Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao soon followed and were seen joining the list of stars too, taking the challenge ahead.

“Me and @AnushkaSharma just holding a pad no big deal. Best of luck @akshaykumar @sonamakapoor @radhika_apte for #PaDman. Nominating @karanjohar #katrina @iTIGERSHROFF . It was discussed and these are both our nominations!!!,” posted Varun Dhawan as he was seen with his Sui Dhaaga co-star Anushka.

Anand Ahuja too shared a picture and wrote along, “@bhanelove team and I got Pads in our hands. Nothing to be ashamed of. It’s natural! Period. *** I see you @jalalmortezai @neeha7 .. you’re next @the_brewhouse @norblacknorwhite @poojadhingra @atulya_m @jalan_varun *** Good luck to @padmanthefilm (@sonamkapoor @akshaykumar @twinklerkhanna ).”
