I look back on it as one of the most notable moments while growing up, and I wish to spread the word across the world in a similar manner", the "Chennai Express" star added.The 'Period Story' is a special video by fem-tech brand Nua.Ravi Ramachandran, Founder, and CEO, Nua, in a statement, called it "a conversation that does not deserve a hushed tone.
