Anupam Kher has irked Bangladeshi writer-activist Taslima Nasreen.

The actor stated on his micro-blogging site, (referring to Mukul Roy's incident) "When a minister refuses to visit an accident site where so many have died he should resign, wear bangles and sit at home."

The latter part of the sentence has made him incur the fiery Taslima's wrath. What followed was a verbal volley between the two.

What Taslima said...

~~"The Big Fellow should be called nasty misogynist, unless he wears sari and bangles and feel proud of wearing these.

~~"Men think women's clothing will castrate their phallic privileges, because maleness is associated with power and femaleness with submission."

~~"His thinking is backward. Still consider women as abla (powerless). Shame on him."

~~"It's not shameful for women to wear men's clothes. Why should it be shameful for men to wear women's clothes?"

Anupam's reply....

~~"Friends please stop reacting to self-styled activists. We are brought up on Indian proverbs. You need to be an Indian to understand them."

~~"So let's go for some Indian proverbs. For starters... Tu Kaun Mai KhamKhah."
