Impressed with the response of Manushi, Tharoor called it a gracious one. Tharoor took to his microblogging site Twitter and wrote, ‘’You're a class act, @ManushiChhillar! Beautiful, smart & uncommonly gracious too. Still, if any offence was caused to any member of your family, sincere apologies. Like every Indian, I'm proud of you."
Manushi took Tharoor’s remark lightly and tweeted earlier, "Exactly @vineetjaintimes agree with you on this. A girl who has just won the World isn't going to be upset over a tongue-in-cheek remark. 'Chillar' talk is just small change - let's not forget the 'chill' within Chhillar@ShashiTharoor."
Manushi won the Miss World 2017 pageant on this Saturday. And soon after her victory, Tharoor congratulated Manushi through this tweet. He wrote, "What a mistake to demonetise our currency! BJP should have realised that Indian cash dominates the globe: look, even our Chhillar has become Miss World!"
Later, Tharoor received much criticism on Twitter for his tweet.
