Actress Sreeleela has found herself in a controversy after she made a statement about 'periods is not an excuse' she made during the success meet of the movie Ustaad Bhagat Singh, which was held in March post the film's release, where she spoke about her personal experiences as a working woman. Let's delve in to know more.
What exactly did Sreeleela say about periods?
During the interaction, Sreeleela said that she had stated, “All of my songs, I can say, most of them at least, have been appreciated.” I have shot while I have been on my period, so that is not an excuse anywhere. When we want things in power, when we say we want things equally, I feel we have to push beyond physiological barriers. So psychological, physiological, all of this is not an excuse."
Her statement was uploaded on the Sitha mobile app's social media page, which resurfaced again, and since then it has been going viral. Her statement has drawn a sharp reaction from netizens.
