Never mean or brutal, always witty — that's director Shirish Kunder in 140 characters. And he exhibited just that quality when he responded to a troll who asked him about his children's religion
Shirish Kunder is 'Tees Maar Khan' for response to 'Joker' who asked about his kids' religion
Director Shirish Kunder is a Twitter talent and has around three lakh followers on the micro blogging site who follow his musings in 140 characters religiously.
Never mean or brutal, always witty - that's Kunder in 140 characters. And he exhibited just that quality after being trolled over his children's religion.
The 43-year-old put up a breathtaking vacation photo of his family which had his triplets -- Czar, Anya and Diva -- along with choreographer-turned-director wife Farah Khan at the picturesque Grand Canyon in the US.
Now, while most of his followers appreciated the beauty of the location, the family and his witty remark, there was one who posed a question about his children's religion.
Now, trolls have been known to target people on the basis of religion. There's the case of star couple Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan naming their child Taimur as well as the naming of Baroda all-rounder Irfan Pathan's child or the attack on India pacer Mohammad Shami for sharing a photo of his wife Hasin Jahan in a sleeveless gown or even the instance when former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif found himself at the centre of a social media controversy after uploading pictures of him doing 'Surya Namaskar'.
The troll who asked Kunder about his children's religion had no business asking such a personal question, but that social media for you. Yet, Kunder instead of blasting the troll responded with class and actually set an example that others can follow.
His response got the Twitterverse excited. It was retweeted over 3,000 times and liked close to 6,000 times at the time of writing this article. It also made some declare him their 'Twitter crush'.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE RESPONSES TO HIS RESPONSE:
