Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Sunday drew flak after he referred to Manushi Chhillar, who was crowned Miss World on Saturday, as "chillar" (meaning small change). Chhillar, a medical student from Haryana, won the title in China, ending 16 years of drought for India at the international beauty pageant. "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!" the former Union Minister tweeted. The Twitteratti were quick to point out that there is difference between Manushi's surname "Chhillar" and the word "Chillar" - in spelling and meaning. A few expressed their exasperation through creative memes and GIFs.
