<p>Twinkle has often criticised the government in her blogs and on social media, and surprisingly PM Modi is very much aware of the same. In his apolitical interview with Akshay Kumar, PM Modi said, "Main aapka bhi Twitter dekhta hoon aur Twinkle Khanna Ji ka Twitter dekhta hoon. Kabhi Kabhi toh mujhe lagta hai ki vo mere upar gussa nikaalti hai Twitter pe, toh uske kaaran aapke parivaarik jeevan mein badi shaanti rehti hogi. Unka pura gussa mujpe nikal jaata hoga isliye aapko araam rehta hoga. Toh is prakaar se main aapke kaam aaya hoon (I see your Twitter as well as Twinkle Khanna's Twitter. Sometimes I feel that she pours out her anger on me, so things must be peaceful in your family life. She pours out all the anger on me so things would be comfortable for you. In this way, I became helpful for you "</p>
