Twinkle Khanna Wants Humor In The Right Context; Also, Takes A Jibe At Duas

IWB Post

The Akshay Kumar-Mallika Dua controversy seems to have caught eyes of all and bounced like a ball.

Since the time Vinod Dua made a reasonable question at a comedy show’s lead judge Akshay Kumar’s comment, there has been a long wait to receive reactions from Mr. and Mrs. Funnybones. Yesterday we finally got a reaction from Mrs. Funnybones which doesn’t seem to be fair. I think she has somehow missed out on the main point of the controversy which addresses “casual sexism” at work.

Twinkle Khanna herself had pointed at sexism at work on one of her columns which clearly shows that the columnist is totally against it. So, isn’t the colloquial remark a part of it? The unfair thing that her reaction brings up is our nature of taking partial sides as humans.

Not only did she tweet her reaction, she also made fun of the Duas in a slightly mean post.

I couldn’t resist these two and after this I am done #LameJokes pic.twitter.com/3mMckTtmDu — Twinkle Khanna (@mrsfunnybones) October 29, 2017

To which Mallika responded:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH No. https://t.co/x1GRbWCHkX

We really need to bring a change in our language if such remarks are looked past because of their everyday use.
