Twinkle Khanna is known to many in Tinseltown for her unfiltered opinions and frank point of views. She never shies away from speaking her mind and doesn’t mince her words at any time. Daughter of actor parents, Dimple Kapadia and late Rajesh Khanna, Twinkle had followed the footsteps of her parents and been a part of films like, Mela, Baadshaah, Jaan, Barsaat, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai amongst others. However, later she decided to step down from showbiz and took up the pen. For the unversed, Twinkle has established herself as a columnist and writer and is known by her pen name, Mrs Funnybones. In her personal life, Twinkle is married to Akshay Kumar and the duo is blessed with their son, Aarav and their daughter, Nitara.
Twinkle Khanna has often grabbed the spotlight for her controversial statements on the aspect of feminism and patriarchy. Yet again, something similar happened at the launch event for her next book. During an interactive session with her readers and fans, Twinkle entertained a question asked by none other than her husband, Akshay Kumar, who was seated amongst the audience. The dashing actor asked his wife whether men are irrelevant in her book, since all the characters in it are female. To this, Twinkle kept up her witty yet humourous character and gave a sassy response. The diva claimed:
“No, you need dessert, right? To be happy. So men are important for us to enjoy ourselves and indulge. And I think that a lot of this that I could do is including going to study. I would have not been able to do it if he hadn’t supported me the way he has.”

Well, as soon as Twinkle’s video with her sassy statement was dropped on her IG handle, eagle-eyed netizens took note of it and started to express their opinions. While a fair share of netizens were impressed with her unapologetic views and bold revelations, a particular user took objection to the kind of remark that the actress made on men. Taking to the comment section, the user asked:
“Can we call women a dessert and get away with it?”
Interestingly, Twinkle took note of the particular comment and chose to clear her point of view with a befitting reply. The diva answered while it is not fair to call women as ‘desserts’, at the same time, women have faced the predicament of patriarchy for long. She penned:
“You can’t but you can blame centuries of patriarchy for your current predicament humour is always about punching up and not down.”
