Twinkle Khanna calls Taher Shah Pakistan's 'purple bomb,' upsets followers

As Taher Shah's viral hit 'Angel' gained momentum this weekend, more mainstream celebrities from both sides of the border didn't shy away from voicing their opinions on the song.

Among them was Twinkle Khanna. The actress posted a picture of Taher Shah to her Instagram account with the caption "Pakistan doesn't need nuclear weapons they can just drop this purple bomb on us #TaherShah."

The mention of nuclear weapons and Pak-India relations upset some of her followers, who didn't seem to appreciate the joke.

"You're so rude!" exclaimed one follower. Twinkle appeared to feel she may have taken the joke too far because she updated her photo to read: "P.S. Note added — seeing the comments — I have friends and relatives both sides of the border — just a joke — laugh or unfollow but abusive people with no sense of humour will be barred entry at these twinkling gates."

Twinkle wasn't the only well-known personality to weigh in on 'Angel.'

Of course, Hamza Ali Abbasi had a few words on the matter.
