With just a week away from its release, producer Twinkle Khanna has come up with the 'PadMan Challenge' and the first person who dared to take it up is Mr Perfectionist, Aamir Khan. The actor took to his Twitter account to share a photo of himself holding a sanitary napkin. He is happily flaunting the pad and isn't ashamed of it at all! The 'Dangal' star wrote, "Thank you @mrsfunnybones. Yes, that's a Pad in my hand & there's nothing to be ashamed about. It's natural! Period. #PadManChallenge. Copy, Paste this & Challenge your friends to take a photo with a Pad. Here I am Challenging @SrBachchan , @iamsrk & @BeingSalmanKhan (sic)."

Aamir not only took up this awareness initiative but has also passed on the challenge to stalwart Amitabh Bachchan, who is also his co-star in the upcoming mega-project 'Thugs of Hindostan'. Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, too, have been challenged by Aamir to do the same. The challenge is slowly picking up and could become a rage on the Internet in no time. Already there are people who have started uploading their pictures with the pad. Let's wait to see if the three superstars accept the challenge!

Akshay Kumar's 'PadMan' revolves around a man who produces cost-effective sanitary napkins for the naïve women living in the remote areas and educating them about its importance. The film also has Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor in pivotal roles. Inspired by the life of Coimbatore-based Arunachalam Muruganantham, who found a way to make affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village, 'PadMan' is set to release on February 09, 2018. The film has been written and directed by R. Balki.
