If you still haven’t watched ‘Sharmajee Ki Beti’ you’re missing out on several important issues in the Tahira Kashyap Khurrana directorial. A hilarious conversation around periods for starters is what makes this a fun watch, even with your kids! Tahira, who marks her feature debut with this celluloid that was released on Amazon Prime Video, speaks exclusively to mid-day.com on including a scene that shows actual period blood stains and not blue ink and how she was asked to remove it and trolled for the same.
For those unversed, the scene in question is between Swati Sharma (Vanshika Taparia) and Gurveen Sharma (Arista Mehta) as the former finally gets her period during a lunch break at school leaving her ecstatic. A very visible red stain is shown on her uniform, which was a first for many viewers who had tuned in to watch the film. When asked how she made sure the scene remained sans any cuts, Tahira explained, “We’ve seen red stains. It is not somehow palatable. Showing blood is not acceptable. A few trolls on my social media have sent me that, ‘How can you show, yeh toh bohot badtameezi wali baat hai, this is against our culture to show girls talking about periods, and then you go on to show us stain’.”
