Twinkle Khanna is NOT sorry for her tweet related to open defecation
Twinkle Khanna is unapologetic about her tweet on the condition of open defecation in the city.
Akshay Kumar's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha highlighted one of the major issues in the country - Open Defecation. The film has been doing well at the box office and has tried to make an impact - but as you say it was just a step ahead not the final solution.
A few days back, Twinkle Khanna took to Twitter to share a picture of a man defecating on a city beach. She captioned the image as, "Good morning and I guess here is the first scene of Toilet Ek Prem Katha part 2." In another tweet, she said, "Exactly!The public toilet is a 7-8 minute walk from this particular spot."
Post her tweet, a lot of her followers were unhappy and she was trolled on the social media. But, Twinkle is unapologetic about her tweet and shared the same picture again. She wrote, "1. I found the timing ironical with ToiletEPK’s release and the OD free certification-If you see the sardonicism in it-fine!If not-so be it."
When a leading daily tried to accuse her and her husband Akshay Kumar, she didn't mince her words and said, "He can afford to go'drinking with friends'but can't pay 2use a toilet or buy cup of tea in a place which has one? #GetUrHeadOutOfTheCrapper."
Twinkle Khanna's tweet proves that Mumbai is still not an open-defecation free city. Mumbai got re-validated as an open-defecation free city (ODF) by the quality Council of India (QCI), a Union government affiliated agency, on July 6 - which is last month.
Earlier, talking about the issue of open defecation, Akshay said, "Kids are the ones who are most affected due to open defecation as they are so vulnerable to diseases. Through my movie, I am urging each Indian household to build toilets to keep their children healthy and happy," while adding that "I am glad to join Shiva who has himself been a behavioural change agent and kids' favourite whiz kid to spread my message and together drive change."
