Twinkle Khanna recently shared a photo of a man defecating in open at a beach in Mumbai. While many applauded her humour for calling it a sequel to Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, others have taken quite an offence.
Tweeted on August 18, it is Twinkle’s selfie while she was on her morning walk and a man is seen squatting in the sand, in the background. “Good morning and I guess here is the first scene of Toilet Ek Prem Katha part 2 #WhenYourWalkGoesDownTheToilet” she wrote in the tweet.

Now, people are accusing her of ‘playing with the dignity of men’ and asking her to apologise for sharing the photo. “You are willfully tweeting an unacceptable image because he is a man n would have not done so if this was a woman. Please remove the photo,” said username @devdattab1.
@MenNeedJustice replied, “Y only remove pic. A public apology should also be made for playing with dignity of men.. ppl stoop so low to promote films @akshaykumar.”
Others are asking her if she’d have done the same had it been a woman.

But point is... had this been a woman, would you click pic and upload on social? If dignity of women is important then why not men?

Making mockery of men & his poverty is so easy. Shame on the person who took this pic & public figure for sharing it 4 promoting a film.

However, quite a few echoed Twinkle’s arguments and said that the person should have used a nearby toilet instead.
Ha! There's no dignity in openly shitting on a public beach. Such men should make a public apology for doing so!

But people should be awake too : they can always go to closest toilet

Poor?? How could u say that? It's all about your priorities if you can afford clothes,food, and other basic things then why not toilet?

Let's spread this as message to us that we should build more and more Toilets
