8 witty statements by Twinkle Khanna from her book launch event that made us bow down to her

When asked as to why she wanted Ranbir Kapoor to narrate a passage out of the story on Sanitary Napkin

Because he (Arunachalam Muruganantham) is obsessed with sanitary napkins, and in your (Karan Johar’s) last movie you made him obsessed with love, unrequited love, poor thing, so let’s call him on stage.

When she had an invaluable piece of advice for all the writers

A brief to the statement: Twinkle said that the story which she thought was not good enough and at par with her image of Mrs. Funnybones, her editor called it perfect, and the one story which she thought she had nailed, came back to her for revision. Twinkle said, “When you write, you actually don’t know what you end up with.”

When she defined the relationship between sisters in this beautiful manner

The thing about sisters is that no matter how old you get, that banter between sisters and that teasing each other doesn’t seem to go. So when you are with your sister you behave like you are 12 or 14, no matter how old you get.

When she was straightforward in stating what held the women back all this time

Women are trying very hard to find their place in the world which could have been theirs anyway, but unfortunately men had the keys. They locked us in a cage and now we are finding ways to wiggle out.

When her take on feminism was on point

Feminism is basically about wanting equal opportunities and anybody who says that they are not, and they don’t believe in feminism, are idiots.

When she gave hope to all the oddballs and misfits

For all the oddballs and misfits out there, eventually if you just follow your path you just reach somewhere where no one else has, because you are uniquely meant to do something that only you can do.

When she openly said that she was a misfit and loved being so

My mother was always trying to put me on a diet, and I would tell her that I don’t want to fit in this world. Why would I want to fit into a size four dress.

When Karan Johar’s introduction was a tad too long

Is he going to stop, and, do I get a chance?
