The recently elected Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath was recently mocked at by Twinkle Khanna. The actor-turned writer-cum producer was at the India Today Woman Summit and Awards in New Delhi, where she was asked to comment about Yogi’s rather indecorous comments on women security and protection. The pretty writer suggested that Yogi needed to do a yoga ‘asana’ which eases “releasing gas”.
Twinkle Khanna is quite popular for her witty remarks over everything and anything. She is an opinionated girl for whom, eccentric is the new normal. She grabbed eyeballs with her stellar writing abilities in Mrs Funnybones.
Koel Purie, the event hostess said while directing to the UP New Chief Minister , “He doesn’t have an amazing track record for his statements on women.” On being asked about what he has to say about Yogi, Twinkle quipped: “He needs to do an asana… which helps release gas.
“But I think he’s also changing fashion. In fact, I had tweeted as well that Asian Paints must announce the new color of the season – Beguiling Saffron with a tagline: Orange is the new brown.”
Being a staunch feminist and women supporter, Twinkle is highly engrossed with promoting and empowering women across the country and beyond. The actor is currently working on her production debut called ‘Pad-Man’. This movie revolves around menstruation and sanitary pads.
“I think for me, my version of feminism is based on me pushing the envelope by picking stories I tell and projects I plan. So I am making a movie called Pad Man,” she reiterated.
“I’ve put my money, my clout, my goodwill and determination behind a project which I believe will alleviate the burden from a lot of women, and will take a part of our biology that is right now wrapped in newspaper and shoved down black plastic bags and bring it out for open discussion,” Twinkle spoke blatantly.
“That’s my version of feminist,” Twinkle Khanna signed off.
