Commemorating World Menstrual Hygiene Day, Deepika Padukone shared a video on social media, where she is seen recollecting her childhood story of being taught about menstrual hygiene -- this was even before her school started menstrual education.

In the video, Deepika said, "I'll never forget the moment where my best friend Divya and I were sat down by both of our mother," she said. "Jaishri Aunty spoke to us about what periods are, why it happens. It was something that I will never forget," she said.

"I'm extremely grateful for how she explained it to us with a lot of patience, empathy and comfort, for which at no point did we ever felt uncomfortable about the conversation. I hope that moving forward, I'm able to do the same with my children or the children around me as well."
