Karva Chauth is the most important day in the life of married Hindu women in India. On this auspicious day, married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their hubbies, and this trend is being followed since decades now.
Women celebrate the festival out of love for their better halves, but there has been a never-ending debate about the logic behind it. How can being hungry increase someone’s life? Sometimes, it might lead to serious health troubles, don’t you think so?
Taking a dig at this point, Twitter’s MrsFunnyBones AKA Twinkle Khanna has a hilarious take on this and it is out of the world! Mrs. Funnybones has always been popular on Twitter for her witty and funny tweets. Fans love to read every word of hers. Here’s what she said…
These days by 40 u could be on the way to your 2nd marriage so what’s the point of fasting-don’t need the men to last that long anymore:)

But soon, there was a twitter user who had a logical question for Twinkle Khanna. This is what he asked her…

That’s not all. Twinkle had a few more reasons, checked all possible records and then came up with an answer for that guy; here’s what she said…
That is a possibility-so I checked longevity records-100 countries where men without anyone fasting for them live longer than Indian men:) https://t.co/rBspyZDzni

As soon as Twitterati saw this tweet of Twinkle Khanna, they were prompt enough to come up with their own replies; have a look at them….
Fasting works!
The fasting works, it’s the booze and the starters afterwards that kill the Indian men @amitkhemka1982 @Sahibaliscious

Statistics of North Indian men!
@amitkhemka1982 @Sahibaliscious so only North Indian males live longer? South Indians/gujju/m’rashtra/bongs don’t fast!

Men are under pressure!
In fact, there are men who carry the same thought and feel under pressure when their wives are on fast for them 🙂
