Poet and lyricist Jawed Akhtar is very active on Twitter and he does not shy away from voicing out his opinions or standing up for what he said. Recently, he took to his Twitter to give a lesson o English to a Twitter user who says that 'Ghazal' is not an English word.

A few days back a Twitter user wrote, "In original english their is no word called Ghazal . And if i m not wrong that song is written by Indian and @ashokepandit Is also indian so how it not belongs to him . Or u think @ashokepandit Is second grade citizen in India ? (sic)."

To which Javed Akhtar gave a very apt reply, saying his name as well isn't of English origin and hence people should stop calling him by his name. He wrote, "In original English there is no word like Sanket then what should one call you in English . In my opinion he will have to call you Sanket because you are Sanket . Same way you will have to call a ghazal a ghazal whether you are speaking English , French or German (sic)."
