War of tweets: Twinkle Khanna, Chetan Bhagat involved in Twitter row

MUMBAI: Twinkle Khanna's tongue-in-cheek response about Chetan Bhagat's stint as a judge on a dance reality show to an user fuelled a debate on Twitter between the former actress and the author.

The online feud started when a user complimented her writing skills and wrote, "You are an amazing writer, you don't need to change your name to Chetali Bhagat."

To which, Twinkle wrote:

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

Chetan, who is the new judge on " Nach Baliye 7", taunted the "Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai" actress and tweeted:

Twinkle came up with an interesting reply, saying:

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 :)

The witty war of words took an interesting turn when Twinkle commented on his appearance.

Ok seriously guys, was just a fun banter with @mrsfunnybones She is fun and has a sense of humour in her tweets. Silly to read more into it.
