She said, “Yes, of course, I remember. I used to have a lot of difficulty during working. It was terrible (having periods during shoot). When we used to do outdoor shoots, we had no (vanity) vans, we had to change behind bushes… It is crazy. There were not even enough toilets, you had to go on a field or a mountain top. It was awkward, it was embarrassing,”
Jaya further added, “You would carry plastic bags, so that you could discard a pad, and put it in the plastic, keep them (pads) in a basket, take them home, and then get rid of them… Can you imagine sitting down with about four sanitary towels (at a time)? It was uncomfortable… When I was small, we used sanitary towels… but then you didn’t have the kind of sanitary towels that you have today (that) you just stick on. You had to make a belt with two ends as towels only had loops, to tie tape to it… It was really bad…”

Navya sharing this wrote, “Life as a woman never settles for us. We're constantly governed by phases, going through cycles of good and bad moods, with countless things to stress about, and a million precautions to take, all the while being strong and smiling. It begins with periods, followed by pregnancy, then menopause, governed by an unkind biological clock that often pits us against unfair deadlines. In this episode, our hosts talk about their period stories, navigating a masculine design of society and logistics, sex education, the awkward and the embarrassing, and much more.”
Speaking The Hell Navya is a podcast featuring Navya, her mom Shweta and her GrandMother Jaya Bachchan. The three of them are having conversations about many different things. The idea for this came from them after, realising that, when They sit down in Their living room and talk often talk about a lot of things that They feel most people should hear about. Three different generations with three different opinions can voice things.
