Pari sees Laxmi's potential and invites him to an innovation fair in Delhi. Gayatri gets upset at his obsession with menstruation, and her brother warns him to stay away. Laxmi's joy knows no bounds and he calls Gayatri to give her the news. When he asks for feedback, she says that it's like a normal pad. He ends up meeting Pari Walia ( Sonam Kapoor in a special appearance), a modern, educated woman from the city, and supplies a pad to her. He borrows money and manages to make a good pad but has no one to test it. It has the opposite effect: Laxmi is inspired by this to make his own pad-making machine. The professor is baffled by Laxmi's actions and shows him videos of pad-making machines worth millions to derail his ideas. The professor's son introduces him to the Internet and helps him get information. In need of money and shelter, he works as a manservant in a professor's house. Gayatri's brothers take her away and Laxmi decides to leave, pledging to fight the taboo surrounding menstruation.Īfter learning that sanitary pads use the more absorbent cellulose fibre rather than cotton, Laxmi goes to a college to gain knowledge about the materials used in sanitary napkins. This act causes him to be branded "a man with loose morals" by the entire village. Next, he tries it on himself by attaching a balloon filled with goat blood, which leads to him getting blood all over his trousers in public, resulting in humiliation. Laxmi tries to give his sister pads, which leads to embarrassment in front of her in-laws. To add to his woes, his meeting with the student makes his wife think that he is having an affair. Laxmi again tries to make a pad, and gives it to a female medical student, who decides to help him out but is deterred by her friends.
Gayatri uses it but the pad fails in its function and she tells Laxmi to not interfere in women's matters again.
Excited, Laxmi buys some cotton, cloth, and glue and makes a temporary pad, which he thinks is a better replacement for the costly one. The doctor lauds Laxmi's quick thinking and says that it is the cleanest choice to stop the bleeding. He immediately applies a pad to the injury, despite the others referring to it as "impure". Crestfallen, Laxmi goes to work, where a worker gets injured. Gayatri tells him to return it, as using such costly napkins means cutting off milk expenses. Undeterred, Laxmi buys sanitary pads for his wife, which are rather costly. Gayatri tells him he should not interfere in this feminine topic. He became worried after seeing Gayatri use an unhygienic rag during her periods. When Gayatri is temporarily banished from the household during her menstrual periods, Laxmi is caught unaware due to his lack of knowledge about the subject. Laxmi is deeply in love with his wife and will do anything for her comfort and happiness. The story starts with the marriage of Lakshmikant "Lakshmi" Chauhan ( Akshay Kumar) and Gayatri ( Radhika Apte).
