The PadMan challenge, which has spread like wildfire on the social media, is related to the upcoming film PadMan starring Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte.
The movie is inspired by the story of entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur, who invented the machine for manufacturing low-cost sanitary pads for the women of his village.
He also initiated the #PadManChallenge on the social media to create awareness about menstruation and usage of sanitary pads, and tagged other people to take up the challenge.
Phogat next dared double Olympian Sushil Kumar and Bollywood star Salman Khan to accept the challenge.
Earlier, Geeta Phogat, Babita's sister and Commonwealth gold medallist, also accepted the challenge.
Recently, Indian ace shuttler and Olympian Saina Nehwal also posted her picture with a sanitary pad.
