Prior to the royal wedding, the now Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle had requested guests to donate to a Mumbai-based NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) that helped in empowering women. The Badla actress, Taapsee Pannu, has joined the same organisation to educate women from slums and spread awareness about menstrual hygiene. 

Talking about her association with the organisation, Taapsee Pannu told Mumbai Mirror how we still need to open up about menstruation. "Even in a regular middle-class household in Mumbai and Delhi, periods are discussed using furtive gestures and awkward eye contact," said Taapsee.
