‘Needle landed at zero’: Twinkle Khanna reveals why she and Akshay Kumar ‘cancel each other out’ at BMC polls

Twinkle also commented on Aamir Khan’s viral remark on the Marathi language. After casting his vote, Aamir was speaking to the media while standing outside the polling booth. The actor was speaking in Marathi when he was interrupted by a journalist, who asked him to speak in Hindi. Aamir resisted and said, “In Hindi? This is Maharashtra bhai.’ However, the journalist requested the actor to also give his statement in Hindi, as it would be published in Hindi-speaking states like Delhi and more.

Twinkle had a witty take on the incident and wrote, “Language is indeed, a bigger issue for the BMC than drainage.” She mentioned how the Marathi versus Hindi debate was rampant leading up to the election. She also recalled how, in 2008, the BMC tried conducting all administrative work only in Marathi. She noted how the mandate faced backlash “in every possible language” and was eventually forced to retreat. “Ideology is powerful until you have to fill out long forms,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, a video of Akshay had gone viral after he cast his vote. While he was coming out of the polling booth, a woman approached him asking for financial help. “Papa bahut bade karze mein hai, unko please bahar nikalo (My father is in a huge debt, please help him),” she said. The actor agreed to help the woman and directed her to his team.
