"I am humbled to be invited for such an important cause. It is a great initiative taken by the government and I am more than happy to create awareness through my speech," Zareen said in a statement.
"Thanks to Akshay Kumar who showcased the cause so beautifully through his film 'Pad Man'," she added.
"Pad Man", starring Akshay, is based on the story of a real-life superhero who invented a low-cost sanitary pad manufacturing machine to bring a menstrual hygiene revolution for women. IANS
