Anushka and Varun wished luck to PadMan stars Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte and wrote: "Varun Dhawan and I just hanging out, holding a pad, no big deal, just another regular day." Varun and Anushka nominated Karan Johar, Katrina Kaif and Tiger Shroff for the 'PadMan Challenge'. The 'PadMan Challenge' has spread its web on social media. Celebs are tagging celebs to participate in the challenge, which requires them to post pictures of themselves holding a sanitary pad.

The aim of 'PadMan Challenge' is to make menstruation a topic, as Twinkle Khanna said in her Oxford address to promote PadMan, which she produces.

Akshay Kumar, who plays the lead role in PadMan, had tagged Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and Virat Kohli, but so far, Virat hasn't completed the task.

The 'PadMan Challenge' was conceived by Arunachalam Murugunantham, the inventor of low-cost sanitary pad making machine. PadMan, based on a short story written by Twinkle Khanna, chronicles Mr Murugunantham's attempts to provide hygienic menstrual condition for the women of his family and ultimately to all the women with limited means.

Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan have started prepping for their film Sui Dhaaga. Recently, Anushka shared her picture on social media, in which she was seen embroidering a piece of fabric and she captioned it in Hindi as "Katran Se Buni Kahaani, Paiband Laga Ke Hai Sunani - Sui Dhaaga."
