Veteran Bollywood actress Madhu Sachdeva who was seen in the Vidyut Jammwal starrer Khuda Haafiz is all set to be seen in the upcoming social drama film ‘Masoom Sawaal’. The film talks about the stigma that surrounds menstruation. The film has a social message and is thought provoking. 

Speaking about her role Madhu said, “I'm playing a pivotal role as Lalita Devi who is the head in the family. I'm essaying grandmother to Niyati (lead character). She is very affectionate towards everyone in the family and especially fond of her granddaughter. However, she has an orthodox mentality regarding menstruation and believes in various stigma and rules associated with it since ancient times.”

Madhu further adds, “She gives her granddaughter an idol of Lord Krishna as her brother during her childhood but when she grows up to a teenager who started getting her monthly cycles of period, dadi then distances Niyati from Lord Krishna and imposes strict rules on her.” She adds, “I feel this is a very untouched subject which people hesitate to openly raise their voice about. Though dadi is immersed in her orthodox thinking, Niyati questions such norms and taboos. Our director has tried to spread awareness.” 

Masoom Sawaal is Directed by Santosh Upadhyay and written by Kamlesh K Mishra. The film also stars Nitanshi Goel, Ekavali Khanna, Shishir Sharma, Shashie Verma, Rohit Tiwari, Brinda Trivedi, Ramji Bali and others. It will hit cinemas on 5th August 2022.
