The video starts with Rajkummar entering the shop and asking for a pad. Anil voices out the stereotypical response of Indian mindset if a boy asked for a pad. He says, "This is a medical shop, not a sports shop. Cricket pads are not available here."
To which Rajkummar responds, "Pad, as in sanitary pads, napkins. The one used during periods."
At this Anil starts laughing and says, "If men around the world started buying this then it would make a women's life easy."
"Of course, there's nothing to be ashamed. It's only natural," Rajkummar says.
The two conclude the video with the signature PadMan Challenge line: Yes, that’s a Pad in my hand & there's nothing to be ashamed about. It's natural! Period.
A. Muruganantham, the man who inspired PadMan started the #PadManChallenge urging people to take a photo with a pad. Since then the challenge has gone viral with many people along with celebs all over the country have participated.
