Twinkle Khanna Tweets Condemning JNU Violence; Twitterati Hits Back With Akshay Kumar’s Old Pic Waving ABVP Flag

We are really curious to know how Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna discuss politics at the dinner table. For the uninitiated, the couple is known for having diverse views on the political state of India. Twinkle Khanna, former actress turned columnist/writer, is sharply critical of the current government. Akshay Kumar has been an ardent admirer of BJP government and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. So whenever Twinkle talks or tweets about anything critical of the administration, she is reminded to preach first to her husband. Siddharth Takes a Dig at Akshay Kumar Over Canadian Citizenship Row, Also Targets Kumar's 'Non-Political' Interview With PM Modi.

Recently, the violence carried out at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on January 5 evening left the country shell-shocked. Several masked miscreants attacked the students and the teachers within the campus. The victims allege that the miscreants belong to Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), a student union affiliated with Rashtriya Seva Sangh (RSS).

Several celebs like Taapsee Pannu, Anurag Kashyap, Swara Bhasker, Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon et al had condemned the attack. Twinkle Khanna was also amongst them, tweeting the screenshot of a scathing article in Mumbai Mirror about the violence. Violence in JNU: Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker, Anurag Kashyap, Kritika Kamra and Others Slam the Actions of 'Masked' Attackers, Question Where Was Delhi Police.

Her tweet didn't go down well with some of the Twitters users, who asked her to talk to her husband first. A few months back, Akshay Kumar had been a guest at an ABVP rally and his picture holding their flag had gone viral. The detractors are using this picture to troll Twinkle's tweet.
