Khanna called the account out for being regressive by assuming that she would share her husband’s ideology.
“Better than a regressive tweet like this that calls ‘progressive’ pieces fluff and believes that marriage means sharing the same ideologies,” she replied.

Twinkle has often won plaudits for her wit and sharp presence of mind. She has been a darling of social media users.
In her tweet, she made it clear that being Akshay’s wife did not necessarily mean that she also shared the Khiladi actor’s ideologies.
Akshay has lately come under criticism from liberals for his alleged proximity to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his right-wing ideologies.
He had met Modi on Tuesday to discuss his latest venture ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ prompting Twitter users to make fun of him.
The actor had come under heavy criticism when the Indian government conferred him the prestigious National Award for his acting in Rostam while ignoring more credible and successful film, Dangal.
