Did You Know Twinkle Khanna’s Acquaintances Used To Ask Her If She Had STD? Here’s What Happened
Twinkle Khanna asks fans to narrate funny incidents from when they just owned one telephone in the house.

Actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna has a unique storytelling talent in her. In her recent Instagram post, she shared a hilarious memory from the eighties. Bollywood star Akshay Kumar’s wife recalled how her neighbours used to come to her house and ask if she had an STD. But this wasn’t the STD you would think about. She revealed that they meant that their black telephone had the superpower of making a long-distance phone call.
Twinkle Khanna’s Neighbours Asked Her About STDs
On Sunday, January 12, author Twinkle Khanna took to her Instagram and shared a hilarious incident. “Friends, flatwallahs and budding CID detectives lend me your ears,” she started. She further spoke about the black telephone she had in the eighties. She recalled having a huge trunk at her house with a filled coffee mug and ashtray. There was also a chair facing this makeshift altar, where just one god was placed centre stage and frequently worshipped: a black telephone.

Twinkle also recalled acquaintances coming and asking her if she had an STD. We know how you must have felt when you first read it, but the author hilariously revealed how the situation was something else. “This is not as rude as it may appear because they were not referring to syphilis or gonorrhoea but checking if our phone had the superpower to make long-distance calls,'” she concluded. So hilarious!
