Guneet, born on 21 November1983 in New Delhi. At a young age, she witnessed domestic violence within her home. Her parents died within six months of each other. She has seen life with lots of ups and downs. In 2008, she founded the company, Sikhya Entertainment.
The movie begins with a simple question asked to two teenage girls, "Do you know what periods are?", then to women of a much mature age, boys of the neighborhood, women of age and men alike, all of them had the same answer that they do not know as they giggled away.

The ignorance towards menstruation was so much so that when an aged woman was asked if they knew why they bleed every month they were clueless and thought it was some dirty impure blood that was being bled out by the body.
The original Padman, Arunachalam Muruganantham is also featured explaining the rural women how the pads are made and women learn and are employed under him. These women start making pad with his pad machine and go door to door in different villages selling pads and making other women aware of menstruation hygiene later in the film.
