Twinkle Khanna vs Chetan Bhagat Y esterday it was Twinkle Khanna vs Chetan Bhagat who locked horns on Twitter in a battle of wits, much to the delight of Twitter buffs and regular fans. The actress who writes a regular column for a daily newspaper, under the pseudonym MrsFunnyBones, has already earned a reputation for her sharp sense of humour. Her bio on the blog jokingly mentions that she is secretly trying to change her name to Chetali Bhagat so that her columns get made into movies - a not-so-subtle reference to the bestselling author whose books have been converted into movies several times over. Picking up on this reference, a fan complimented Khanna on Twitter, saying

that she was a fantastic writer and didn't need to change her name. Khanna was quick to tweet a cheeky response with a jab at Bhagat, who recently had his television debut as a judge for Nach Baliye 7. I do!He gets to judge NachBaliye and i get to judge if that gross thing on my floor is dog puke or poop #SuchIsLife https://t.co/glVOtvREii — Twinkle Khanna (@mrsfunnybones) April 27, 2015 In return of this Chetan tweeted: well, i'd say u have the bigger challenge girl..btw, how do u tell the difference between the two anyway? https: //t.co/ F2GhJvI3dA — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) April 27, 2015 And then here's what followed: it's a short life-if lucky enough 2 get opportunities to do diverse things then one should @chetan_bhagat write a bestseller abt it too :) — Twinkle Khanna (@mrsfunnybones) April 27, 2015 u nailed it..it is YOLO..nobody offered me barsaat, or baadshah..else u know.. https://t.co/D6lFopxD4k — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) April 27, 2015 Well if u were taller,had more hair u could have got bobbydeol's role&if were way cooler,than Srk would be jobless:) https://t.co/LZFAgdX4PC — Twinkle Khanna (@mrsfunnybones) April 27, 2015 Ok seriously guys, was just a fun banter with @mrsfunnybones She is fun and has a sense of humour in her tweets.

eepika Padukone apparently rang up Kangna Ranaut to dispel all misunderstandings between them If rumours mills are to be believed, Deepika Padukone had a chat with Kangna Ranaut over the weekend to settle what seemed to be a brewing 'cold war' between them. Kangs, who found many fans in the industry post her performance in the National Award-winning film Queen, wasn't really flattered when Deepika dedicated an award to her earlier this year. "I hope, someday, she would tell me in person what she feels about my work. I would appreciate that a lot more," the Queen actress had been quoted as saying. In an interview a few days ago, she reiterated that she did not receive any congratulatory call from Dippy while many others including Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman Khan conveyed their best wishes to her. Last month, Kangna had taken a dig at her contemporary by slamming her 'My Choice' women empowerment video as 'sexist'. A source says, "So, two days ago, Deepika decided to call Kangna and congratulate her. She also asked her about the controversial media reports about the two of them and clarified her stand. She is keen to maintain cordial relation with Kangna." Kangna is said to be happy about Dippy's gesture, says another source adding: "She explained to Deepika how she has not been accepting awards, but was glad to hear words of appreciation from her and also respected her efforts to clear all misunderstandings between them." The two actresses remained unavailable for comment.
