Going through periods is a big task with all the cramps, mood swings, health problems, and much more. Upon all of this when you have to hide it from your male friends, brothers, fathers etc, it becomes a task. But Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor is the opposite of that and we have proof. In an exclusive interview with Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist hosted by Siddhaarth Aalambayan, Anshula Kapoor revealed how supportive her brother used to be around the time she used to get her periods.
Anshula Kapoor On Arjun Kapoor Being A Green Flag
During the exclusive chat, Anshula Kapoor talked about how her life changed after getting her periods. She said, “My periods were the reason why Arjun bhaiya and I got separate rooms. Up till 10, we were sharing a room. Because after getting periods your body changes this was also mom’s forward-thinking because there was no space in our house, she created a space and a bathroom for me.”
Anshula Kapoor continued, “I understand I come from privilege and people are not as lucky as I was but my mom wanted my room and my bathroom to be a safe space for me and she gave me that. So I was very lucky to have my own room and bathroom in my pre-teens. Not sharing a bathroom with your brother when you get your periods is a big thing.”
Talking about her brother Arjun Kapoor helping her through periods she said, “He was six years older to me so I was probably not the first person he interacted with who was on her periods. But I’m sure Mom must have had a conversation with him. And to date whenever I tell him I’m cramping hard he would not get annoyed or disgusted. He would be like, ‘What do you need, do you have your water bottle and meds with you?'”
She further added, “He’s a full green flag and he’s very understanding in that sense.” This was such a good conversation because having good and supportive men around is vital during periods because one needs constant support and assurance at such a sensitive time.
