Bollywood celebrities always appear to be fit and fine on screen, but that is not the true story in real life. Traditionally, religious myths and misconceptions have dominated our thinking process but it is time to take a look at the awareness of these disorders and their symptoms. We have come a long way where women feel free to share about menstruation problems and this has happened only because of Indian celebrities who have a huge impact on people, and are coming forward to break the taboo.

Below is a list of celebrities who are changing the thought process of people by their impactful campaigns:

Shruti Hassan -South Superstar Shruti Hassan who has shared her struggles with PCOS earlier as well and revealed that she suffers from dysmenorrhea and got lip fillers recently joined hands with OZiva, India's leading Clean, Plant-based nutrition brand to drive #MyPCOSStory movement to spread awareness about PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It is high time that we, women, open up and speak about PCOS and the issues that come with it. The lack of awareness and stigma around it makes it very difficult for women to get the support and guidance they need to control the condition. OZiva's #MyPCOSStory movement is a wonderful initiative towards creating a platform for women with PCOS.

Now, with the cause 'periods are normal, he also promoted and increased awareness about periods and pads through his movie Padman which released in 2018.
