Actress turns author-columnist Twinkle Khanna is popular on the social circuit as Mrs. Funnybones and is known for his outburst views as well as funny fables.
At the India Today Woman Summit recently, Twinkle takes a dig at Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath for his rather off-the-cuff remarks on ‘women’s protection’,she suggested that he needed to do a yoga ‘asana’ which eases “releasing gas”.
Asked what she would have to say to Adityanath, who according to session hostess Koel Purie, “doesn’t have an amazing track record for his statements on women”, 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 colour of the season – ‘Beguiling Saffron’ with a tagline: Orange is the new brown.

Women empowerment and feminism is a subject close to the heart of the actor-turned-writer, whose latest column explored sexual harassment at work.

Of late, Bollywood’s leading ladies like Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Deepika Padukone, have been flaunting T-shirts with feminist slogans. But there’s a need to go beyond that, says Twinkle, who believes in the event presenter Vivel’s ‘Ab Samjhauta Nahin’ tagline.
The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh has often made controversial statements against women. He recently was quoted as saying, “If men acquire women-like qualities, they become gods but when women acquire men like qualities, they become (‘rakshasa’) demon like.”
Furthermore, he believes that the primary role of women is to be a wife or a mother. He is totally against “western feminism” as he thinks it hampers “the creation and stability of the home and the family.”
