Manushi Chillar not offended by Shashi Tharoor light-hearted comment

After Congress leader Shashi Tharoor attacking demonitisation with pun on Miss world 2017, Manushi Chillar surname, the NCW asked him to apologise, but said she is not offended by the light-hearted comment.

She said, “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,’ Manushi, the sixth Indian to win the title, tweeted.

Vineet Jain, MD, Times Group, the organisation behind the India chapter of the pageant, took to the microblogging site to say that Tharoor’s comment was not offensive.

“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,” he wrote.

Manushi seconded Jain and tweeted, “Exactly @vineetjaintimes agree with you on this”.
