Tewari's comment did not go well with several social media users and baffled many on Tuesday. His remarks caused a stir on social media with Twitterati taking a dig at his reference to the popular novel. One user wrote, "Manish Tewari seems to have read #fiftyshadesofgrey last night, and climaxed vigorously in Lok Sabha. #ShameOnCongress," while another user tweeted, "what was Manish Tewari thinking in mind while saying this?"

Besides netizens, Smita Prakash, editor of news agency ANI also tweeted about the incident and said that people should Google "Fifty Shades Of Grey" in order to get a better idea of what they were talking about. To which, Smriti Irani, who is well known for her wit and humour, gave an epic reply.

While responding to Smita Prakash's tweet, Irani said that she too had said this in the house and ended her Tweet with a facepalm. Irani's epic response was re-tweeted nearly 400 times and was liked by over six thousand people.

To those who don't know, "Fifty Shades Of Grey" is a popular series of erotic novels by author E L James which was later adapted into a movie trilogy - Fifty Shades of Grey (2015), Fifty Shades Darker (2017) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018).
