Actress Sreeleela, who is also a qualified doctor, has sparked controversy after stating 'period is not an excuse' at the Ustaad Bhagat Singh success party. Her comments, made while discussing the challenges she has faced as a woman in her career, have been met with intense backlash online. Many critics pointed out that her statement undermines the real struggles women experience during menstruation. Netizens shared personal stories of painful periods, emphasizing that not all women can work through such discomfort. The backlash is particularly notable given Sreeleela's medical education, leading many to feel her remarks were especially insensitive. Despite the controversy, Sreeleela is preparing for her Bollywood debut in a film directed by Anurag Basu, alongside her rumored boyfriend Kartik Aaryan, and is also set to star in a Tamil film with actor Dhanush.
