Ayesha Khan has addressed the backlash she faced after she revealed that she filmed the dance song ‘Sharaat’ during her role in Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller ‘Dhurandhar’.Speaking at the Mojo Story Summit, the actress said she was surprised at how an ordinary confession could turn into online meme material.She said, “It’s unfortunate that whatever you do or say these days, everything is a joke, black humor and fun. It’s good that you can laugh at everything. But laughing at anything and everything is not exactly fun. Maybe I didn’t realize it because it’s very normal for me. Every month, we go through this cycle. We do many things when we are on our period.”

“Climax detail” memes and mockery online
Recalling the social media storm that ensued, Aisha added: “Being on my period suddenly became a national joke.”She pointed out that the satire even used the popular meme format “climax details by Aditya Dhar”. “We really need to educate our sons and brothers,” she said frankly. “I’m sure the jokes were from men. It was really bad.”Despite the trolling, the actress made it clear that she is not ashamed. “I’m a proud woman. I was really proud of everything I did while on my period. You wouldn’t be able to do it without being on your period.”
“I did it during my periods,” she confirmed.
“We don’t make a big deal out of it.”
Aisha stressed that her experience was not exceptional, and said that women in various professions continue to give their best while running their courses.“I’m sure there were 100 women in this room. There would be at least five or two women on their period right now. We don’t realize it because we don’t care much about it. So, if we don’t make it a big deal, you can relax.”

But she admitted that she felt shy while filming the song.“Of course, I felt like I didn’t look my best because I was bloated. It’s the song, so you want to look your best. You’re so excited and you want to look your best,” she shared.
