And this is what Mallika Dua and the Internet thinks of it:
In an unaired clip of
The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, which found its way on the social media, Akshay Kumar can be heard saying, "
Mallika ji aaap bell bajao, main aapko bajata hun." Mallika's father, journalist Vinod Dua, rebuked Akshay's language and wrote on Facebook (the post is now deleted): "I am going screw this cretin Aksahy Kumar." Defending her husband Akahsy Kumar, Twinkle said in her statement: "Should Mr Dua's statement also be taken literally or interpreted in context." She added: "Words, especially humour, have to be seen in its right context.
I have always stood up for freedom within comedy including defending AIB's infamous roast on numerous occasion in the past and that is my stance even today."
Twinkle Khanna is the author of two bestsellers -
Mrs Funnybones and
The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad. Akshay Kumar was last seen in
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and is awaiting the release of
