Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna Face Backlash On Twitter For Auctioning Rustom’s Naval Uniform!

Darpan News Desk IANS, 30 Apr, 2018 01:13 PM

    Producer-author and entrepreneur Twinkle Khanna believes in taking legal action instead of retaliating with "violent threat" online.

     

    "As a society do we really think it's all right to threaten a woman with bodily harm for trying to raise funds for a charity by auctioning a uniform used in a movie, a piece of film memorabilia.

     

    "I will not retaliate with violent threats but by taking legal action," Twinkle replied to a troll on Sunday.

     
     

    Twinkle commented on Twitter after being trolled for auctioning National-Award winning actor Akshay Kumar's naval uniform from the film "Rustom". The period thriller is based on the real life incident of Naval officer K.M. Nanavati and businessman Prem Ahuja.

     

    The troller said: "You touch our honour and we will give you a bloody nose."

     

    The proceedings of the bid will support the cause of animal welfare and rescue.

     

    As the tweet she was responding to shows, journalist and author Sandeep Unnithan identified the man who wrote the Facebook post as Lt Col Sandeep Ahlawat, who wrote an impassioned indictment about the intended auction but ended by writing: "If you even make a feeble attempt to auction this piece of costume in the garb of "UNIFORM" then I will drag you to the court. You may like to check my credentials. You touch our honour and we will give you a bloody nose."

     

    Read the Facebook post here:

     

    Dear Twinkle Khanna, I am not on Instagram so giving you a rebuttal on Facebook. Your idea of auctioning the costume...

    However, comments on Twinkle Khanna's tweet have taken it upon themselves to explain Lt Col Ahlawat's usage of the phrase 'bloody nose,' saying it was to be interpreted metaphorically.
