Twinkle Khanna: Why I am obliged to feel patriotic when I am about to see Ranveer Singh in his underwear

Twinkle Khanna’s say on Supreme Court’s recent judgment - which orders that all cinema halls across the country play national anthem – is right on point and hilarious.

In her recent blog, Twinkle writes, "Scrolling through my phone on the way to the office, I stumble on the news that to instill “committed patriotism and nationalism”, the Supreme Court has now ordered all cinema halls to play the national anthem and folks are obliged to stand up and show respect to the same.

Now, I am admittedly one of those barmy women who get teary-eyed during our national anthem and bellow it out as loudly as we can, much to the embarrassment of our children.I have even gone on a tour to the Wagah border where, along with the 200 people sitting beside me, I too screamed myself hoarse with ‘Jai Hind’ and ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ competing vigorously with the Pakistanis raising their slogans across the border, because not having variable parameters to judge nationalism, we seem to simply define it by volume, hoping the loudest wins.

But I still can’t wrap my head around how and why I am obliged to feel patriotic when I have merely booked tickets for 'Befikre', and am about to see Ranveer Singh in his tight red underwear.

Well, isn't the woman just hilarious!
