A source told Mumbai Mirror that Anushka is a perfect choice for the campaign as people relate to her, and said:
In these places, it’s the men who resist the idea of building toilets while women really need them in light of health and safety concerns in open spaces like fields and farms. In her films, Anushka has always played inspiring female characters so the government believes her voice will resonate with women.
