Painful Pride, a short film that stars Pallavi Joshi and Rituraj Singh in the lead roles, deals with the issue of menopause, which is still a taboo in the society. While several celebrities are promoting the campaign #ItsJustaPeriod on social media, the director, Maansi, manages to start a conversation about it. Maansi says, “I believe menopause is a lesser-talked issue and that’s where the idea to make a short film came from. I wonder why people still find menopause a taboo, but are comfortable to talk about periods.”

She adds, “Through Painful Pride, along with my social media team, I have been running several kinds of campaigns that will help in raising awareness about the issue.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
