Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Sharma praise Twinkle Khanna’s latest column!

The current state of India suggests that the nation lacks a sense of humour. From filing a variety of police complaints against the AIB roast to censoring cuss words from Hindi films, the day just keeps getting darker and darker for freedom of speech. In these critical times, Twinkle Khanna, who is an entrepreneur, a humorous columnist and also wife of actor Akshay Kumar, writes her heart out about the battles that are worth fighting for and why India as a whole needs to take a little less offence and ponder over issues that really matter a little more.

Here is an excerpt from Twinkle’s column:

“If I had to be offended by a live show I would rather be offended by Arnab who invites people on his show and then doesn’t let them speak. I saw an episode where he is asking the education minister a question and then screaming over her answers.

Now that’s just bad manners, at least in the AIB roast they called guests over, let them say their bit, people laughed and went home. But we still have to get outraged even though they had made it clear that the show is for adults only.

Yes, I wish the AIB had made astute, layered gags and jibes but to be so offended as to lynch them over a bunch of wisecracks?”

Many Bollywood celebrities have praised Ms Khanna’s writing on Twitter. Here are some of the celeb reactions-
