Aditi Rao Hydari recently posted a picture taking up the red dot challenge to put period shaming to rest. The initiative was started because of the stigma attached to periods as a concept. Lack of knowledge and misinformation about the natural phenomenon make people look down upon women. To put an end to such misconceptions, UNICEF India came up with the challenge that involves people drawing a huge red dot in the middle of their palms. Aditi Rao Hydari recently posted a monochrome picture where she could be seen showing off the red dot drawn on her palm. The entire picture is in black and white except for the red dot that she is showing off. She can be seen dressed casually in a denim jacket as she is settled at home during the ongoing Coronavirus related lockdown.
