Periods and Sanitary pads | Stand Up Comedy by Vivek Samtani

About this Video

Vivek Samtani tackles the lack of proper sex education in Indian schools and the persistent taboo surrounding discussions of periods and menstruation. Through self-deprecating humor and audience interaction, the comedian unpacks how institutional silence leaves young people uninformed about basic bodily functions. In this twelve-minute set recorded in Mumbai, Samtani brings levity to a serious social issue, challenging cultural norms that treat these conversations as forbidden rather than essential knowledge everyone deserves.
