Praises poured from all the corners when Manushi Chhillar got crowned as the Miss World 2017 on November 18, 2017. The mesmerizing beauty left everyone stunned and came out as a winner for her determination and intellect. The Haryanvi beauty made India proud by winning the Miss World crown and bringing it back to our nation after 17 years. It was Priyanka Chopra who won this prestigious title in the year 2000.
While everyone was celebrating Manushi’s victory, Shashi Tharoor thought of targetting the ruling government, BJP using Manushi’s surname.
Taking a dig at demonetization, Tharoor made fun of Manushi’s surname and called her ‘chillar’.
What a mistake to demonetise our currency! BJP should have realised that Indian cash dominates the globe: look, even our Chhillar has become Miss World!

However, a major backlash by Twitterati made him apologize to everyone for making such stupid mistake.
Guess the pun IS the lowest form of humour, & the bilingual pun lower still! Apologies to the many who seem to have been righteously offended by a light-hearted tweet today. Certainly no offence was meant to a bright young girl whose answer i’ve separately praised. Please: Chill!

Vineet Jain, Managing Director, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. was one of those who reacted to Tharoor’s tweet. He has been supporting Manushi for a long time and this is what he said when Tharoor made fun of her surname.
I saw @ShashiTharoor tweet regarding @ManushiChhillar . I wasn’t offended even though she is a times girl. We need to learn to be more TOLERANT towards light hearted HUMOUR. #MissWorld2017 #MissIndia

But, it’s Manushi’s reply that won the show. The Miss World 2017 chose interesting words to give a shutting response to Tharoor. The girl is quite a genius when it comes to giving answers.
Shattering Tharoor’s tweet completely, here’s what Manushi said:
Exactly @vineetjaintimes agree with you on this. A girl who has just won the World isn’t going to be upset over a tongue-in-cheek remark. ‘Chillar’ talk is just small change – let’s not forget the ‘chill’ within Chhillar 🙂 @ShashiTharoor https://t.co/L5gqMf8hfi
