Recently, Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani recently opposed paid period leaves for women employees, stating it’s part of the menstrual cycle and not a handicap. Kangana Ranaut sided by Irani’s comment and said it was not a handicap. Actress Dalljiet Kaur reacts Kaur had an opposite view. She shared a note on Instagram and wrote- ““I had severe pain during my period since I was little I felt different from other girls.“My own sisters were in intolerable pain, but mine started the day before I was bleeding, I was nauseous, cramping, bloated, and had heat pouring out of my body. These days I have severe acne every month.” She added, “So yes, women deserve a vacation to sit in bed and get the heating pad and medication they deserve.” What Smriti Irani said Irani said, “As a menstruating woman, I can say menstruation and our menstrual cycle is not a handicap, it’s a natural part of a woman’s life journey. Given that women today are opting for more and more economic opportunities, we should not propose issues where women are in some way denied an equal opportunity just because somebody who does not menstruate has a viewpoint on menstruation.” Kangana Ranaut reacts The actress penned a long note on Instagram and elaborated, “Unless it’s some specific medical condition women don’t need paid leaves for periods, please understand it’s periods, not some illness or handicap.” She added, “Working woman is a myth, there hasn’t been a single non-working woman in the history of mankind, from farming to house chores to raising kids women have always been working and nothing has come in the way of their commitment to their families or community or nation. Unless it’s some specific medical condition women don’t need paid leaves for periods, please understand it’s periods, not some illness or handicap.”
Sharing the details of what she went through, the ‘Bigg Boss 13’ actress commented, “I was nauseous, cramping, bloated, and had heat pouring out of my body. These days I have severe acne every month.”
