Author, celebrity columnist and former actor Twinkle Khanna seems to have pulled off a stunt on Instagram. She inserted a strap into the display picture of her that reads, “Kumar’s +1”, probably referring to her husband and actor Akshay Kumar.

Twinkle’s Instagram trick
On Thursday, Twinkle took to her Instagram account and shared an uncaptioned picture. On a solid red background, white text read “Twinkle Khanna,” but it was crossed out and replaced with “Kumar’s +1.” She also inserted the same text into her display image and changed her bio to: “Stop by Ms. Funnybones, say hello to Kumar +1.” Twinkle is known as “Mrs. Funnybones”, which is also the title of her first book, published in 2016.
Reactions
Instagram users were baffled by these changes. However, many praised how Twinke sent a message to all those who recognize her only as Akshay Kumar’s wife, discrediting her own professional achievements. One user commented on her new post: “Lol amazing.” Another wrote: “This was so triggering (broken heart emoji).” “(The teary-eyed laughing emojis) loved it,” a third wrote. “Hahahaha, I’m going to copy this. Absolutely brilliant,” a fourth user commented, while another wrote, “Aurat ki admi se hoti hai – to beti Kyu padhana hai? (If a woman’s identity is through her man, then why teach her daughters?). Another user resonated with Twinkle and wrote, “It really hurts when you are so successful in your own way (red heart emoji).”
However, one user went further than the comment and said that it is a hint of a new Twinkle book. They wrote: “New book (love eyes and ballerina emojis).” However, some took Twinkle’s message backwards and went on to congratulate her on her third pregnancy. One user wrote: “Are you pregnant again? Congratulations.” Many others followed suit and congratulated Twinkle in the comments section.
Earlier this year, Twinkle completed an MA program in fiction writing from Goldsmiths, University of London. She also recently published the novel Welcome to Paradise. Meanwhile, Akshay will be next seen in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
