Twinkle Khanna responds to allegation that she danced for Dawood Ibrahim: ‘Even my kids think my dancing skills are akin to WWF match…’

Sharing how her kids relate her dancing to a WWF match, she wrote, “I have even seen my name on a mainstream television channel ticker saying I had performed a medley of songs for Dawood. Considering that even my children think my dancing skills are akin to watching a WWF match between a lone wrestler and gravity, the news channels should have known that Dawood would have chosen more skilled performers. But such is the world of fake news.”

In her column, Twinkle also delved into the broader societal impact of misinformation, recounting an encounter with a Chennai cab driver who attributed late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide to the three Khans of Bollywood, citing WhatsApp and YouTube as his sources of “real truth”. Twinkle’s interaction with the driver shed light on the dangers of relying on unverified information propagated through social media platforms.

She quoted herself as asking the driver, “‘Bhai saab, where do you get all these crazy ideas?’ Looking abashed, he stated, ‘Yes, you are right, not all three Khans, only one of them is responsible for his murder.’ Then he went on: ‘See, first, we would not get all the proper news. We didn’t know what was happening. We had only a radio. Then came TV, but still, we didn’t know anything. Now, we learn the real truth through WhatsApp and YouTube. Nothing can be hidden from us anymore.'”
