Newly crowned Miss World Manushi Chhillar has stated that she is not upset with the tongue-in-cheek comment that Congress leader Shashi Tharoor made on Sunday while taking a jibe at BJP's demonetisation scheme.
Chhillar took to Twitter to clarify that she wasn't upset by his tweet.
Tharoor had soon clarified that it was a 'bad pun' and even praised the young lady's winning answer.
Manushi, a medical student from Haryana, won the title in China, ending 16 years of drought for India at the international beauty pageant.Manushi`s reaction on the issue came on Monday in response to a post by Jain of Times Group, organisers of the Miss India contest.
"I saw Shashi Tharoor`s tweet regarding Manushi Chhillar. I wasn't offended even though she is a Times girl. We need to learn to be more tolerant towards light-hearted humour."
Manushi is the sixth Indian to win the Miss World pageant after Priyanka Chopra brought the crown in 2000.
