Internet had described Twinkle's take as 'disappointing'
Calling herself a 'feminist' from the time she was young, Twinkle further added, "I would like to apologize to everyone who felt that I was trivializing the cause of feminism especially because I strongly believe in equality and have been a feminist from the time I was a young woman, much before I even knew the term." She also mentioned that her five-year-old daughter Nitara was also 'dragged in the controversy for something that she had absolutely nothing to do with.'

In The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, the judges ring a bell, if they like a contestant's act. Akshay's 'ring a bell' comment refers to the same. In the clip, which wasn't aired, Akshay Kumar can be heard saying, "Mallika ji aap bell bajao, main aapko bajata hun."
After the controversy started trending, Mallika's father Vinod Dua, told news agency IANS that he "expects an apology" from Akshay. Twinkle, in her statement, shared previously, wrote, "Should Mr Dua's statement also be taken literally or interpreted in context? Words, especially humour has to be seen in its right context." Vinod Dua had also posted a note of Facebook, which he later deleted.
Here's what the netizens thought of Twinkle's earlier posts.
