The day on which Shraddha Srinath became a feminist & atheist
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,May 30 2020]
'Jersey' actress Shraddha Srinath on Saturday recounted the day on which she became a feminist. Taking to Instagram, the 'Nerkonda Paarvai' actress said that she menstruated during a pooja and what followed next changed her mind forever.
I was 14. At a family pooje, I got my period. I was not accompanied by my mom, so I nudged my aunt sitting next to me and worriedly informed her of it (because I was not carrying a sanitary pad). Another good-natured lady sitting close, saw me worried and overheard me and said to me, smiling reassuringly, “Parvagilla chinna, devaru kshamistaare/ don’t worry child, God will forgive you” (for being part of the Pooja while menstruating). That’s the day I became a feminist and a non-believer. I was 14, she wrote.
The actress awaits the release of 'Krishna And His Leela' in Telugu. This might have a direct OTT release. It's directed by Ravikanth Perepu of 'Kshanam' fame.
