Shashi Tharoor’s Chillar Tweet In Bad Taste, Takes Twitter By Storm

Nov 20, 2017, 10:41 IST

Shashi Tharoor is known for his infamous foot-in-mouth again and this time at the expense of a newly crowned beauty Queen. Haryana model Manushi Chillar won the title of Miss World 2017 title. A few minutes after that, the Congress MP decided to take a dig at the BJP Government's Demonetisation drive at the cost of humiliating the surname of Manushi Chillar (which translates to loose change in Hindi).

Check out his tweets...

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!

You're taking her name like it's an insult. Sense of humor is going down the drain everyday.

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!
