Twinkle Khanna is known for her strong sense of wit and sarcasm. The Bollywood diva appeared on stage at the 2017 Vogue Women of The Year Awards and impressed everyone with her take on sanitary pads, GST, botox and Karva Chauth. 

The actor won the Vogue Opinion Maker of the Year title and then decided to give a speech to express her gratitude and it was surely a stamp she truly deserved the title. 

Take a look at the 10-points Twinkle Khanna made at the Vogue Women of The Year Award 2017 on the 10th anniversary of the magazine. 

1. It's true that we get more comfortable in our skin as we get older but that is also because that poor thing is not as tight as it used to be.

2. We don't need GST on our sanitary pads. What we need instead is an alarm inside it, not a wide breaking one as it would set us on a different path altogether, but an alarm none the less that warns us of imminent overflow and saves us from the 100 trips we make to the bathroom just to check. Now that's a product I could not grudge the GST on.

3. Millions of Indian women fast for their husband's long life on every Karva Chauth. My dear friend who just won an award does immortalize this in his movies (ref to Karan Johar) but I don't think that our 3033 gods are really listening. Because when the mortality charts show up, there are 147 countries above us where their men outlive our good old Indian dudes. So ladies stop because It's clearly not working.


4. It's difficult to befriend your present if you are still quarrelling with your past.

5. God could not be everywhere so he created mothers and the devil could not be everywhere so he created mother-in-laws. Having said that I feel like I am going to be a terrible one.

6. The only thing free in life is bad advice. Enough said.

7. Botox, unfortunately, does not make you look younger. It just makes you look like you are a part of a secret alien invasion desperately trying to fit in with the humans.

8. Our satellite only reached Mars because it was called mom. I am certain that if it was called dad it would still be circling the Earth, lost but not willing to ask for directions.

9. Life is but a chance in the game of choice.

10. For centuries women have been looking for a cape but have been given an apron and it's only recently that we have learned how to swing our aprons around. So let it flutter down our backs and let it take to the skies.
