There are so many controversies happening in the Bollywood industry and the Akshay Kumar and Mallika Dua controversy has been the highlight off-late. I am sure most of you know why did this controversy take place in the first time. For those, still clueless about the issue, here is a glimpse of what has happened in the past weeks so far!
Apparently, Akshay Kumar in a comedy show made comments on Mallika Dua, stating ,”aap bell bajaao, mein aapko bajata hu.” which the comedian was very uncomfortable with and her father Vinod Khanna posted a status on Facebook stating, “ I am going to screw this cretin Akshay Kumar”. and furher asked him to apologize for the statements made by him. Few days later, Mrs. Funnybones, Twinkle Khanna issued a defensive statement where she stated that “humor should be seen in the right context”.

The conversation does not stop there. Many twitterati’s also responded against Akshay Kumar for making sexist comments on the comedian and everyone demanded an apology from him on the matter.
In the light of this matter, Twinkle Khanna also made two “lame jokes” on Mallika Dua that she coulnt stop sharing on twitter.

Immediately Mallika Dua responded on twitter by stating, “That’s the thing about parents. They are protective of their children whether they are 5 or whether they are 28.” The comedian did not name anyone but she simply gave an indirect comment which everyone knew who the message was for.

It was not long after Mallika’s statement on twitter went viral and Twinkle Khanna shared a lengthy post on Facebook apologizing and clarifying her statement on Akshay’s controversy and the lame jokes she had made on the comedian.
Twinkle shared a post on her earlier comments on Mallika Dua-Akshay Kumar controversy, clarifying she “got pulled into this debate not as a social commentator but as a wife and unlike my normal, slightly rational self, my reaction was purely emotional and without perspective.”
Saying she has been “miserable” ever since, she further stated that she, “reached a breaking point when her 5-year-old daughter Nitara was pulled into it, “…my five-year-old was also dragged in for something that she had absolutely nothing to do with, I reached breaking point. And with my protective instincts in overdrive, I reacted irrationally with the only tools I have that help me retain my sanity in this fishbowl existence -words and lame jokes -though they have got me into trouble often enough in the past as well.”
Well, this has been the highlight of the controversy so far and with so many statements and posts on social media, lets hope that the issue has been taken down for now and there is no further controversial issue rising on the Akshay and Mallika’s spat over that one comment in the comedy show that went so viral.
