Esha Deol on facing restrictions at home

Esha shared that she learnt about menstruations and periods during sex education at school as she revealed the restrictions on girls while she was growing up. She said, “I learnt about it at school. Our school had sex education, and they taught us well and at the right time. And it is important. There are a few parents who feel uncomfortable and shy. We were not allowed to go to the temple and pray. When it is done, you can wash your hair and then you can pray. That’s just an orthodox way and I follow. I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in.”
