Actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna ended up a target for the online crowd over her light-hearted tweet on Narendra Modi’s recent goof-up with Trump’s name while addressing a mega event in Ahmedabad.
Known for putting forth her unabashed views through her blogs and columns in newspapers, Twinkle took a dig at Modi’s mispronunciation in her column for a local newspaper in which she said the latter was paying Trump the highest compliment.
“Modiji introduced the president of the United States as India's friend 'Dol**d Trump,’ I believe that Modiji was, in fact, paying him the highest compliment, proving that Trump is, in fact, so manly that while ordinary men are content with one, he has two tools of glorious manhood. Trump returned the compliment by greeting Indians with a 'NaMoste',” Twinkle wrote.
However, a sister and a manager of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, Rangoli Chandel, known for trolling people and for her admiration for Modi, took it as an opportunity to bash Twinkle for her jibe at the Indian prime minister.
Accusing her of obsessing over male parts, Rangoli took on Twinkle with sarcasm.
The tweet by Rangoli soon met with both indignation and hilarity.
As Modi addressed a massive audience of about 125,000 people during a rally in Gujarat state's Motera Stadium on 24 February, he mispronounced Trump's name as “Dolaand” Trump. Several joked that US President avenged Modi by mispronouncing master-blaster cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and social reformer Swami Vivekanand's names during his speech.
