She is an active member in spreading awareness related to menstrual hygiene and distributing reusable sanitary napkins to women. In an interview, she talked about the idea behind spreading menstrual hygiene and said that she felt really bad when she saw women in slums using unhygienic and harmful methods during their menstrual days. She further added,

The ones which are available in markets are made of plastic which is hygienically dangerous in long run. I also have a team of doctors with me vouching for the same. Moreover, there is no commercial motive behind this step, it is just to ensure that women are adopting correct methods.”
