The Washington Post wrote a story about Kumail Nanjiani and his new movie, The Big Sick.

But what Nanjiani couldn’t stand was WaPo‘s headline because it did not include his wife’s name. She was the inspiration for the movie and co-wrote the feature film.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All it took was a swift kick in the pants over Twitter and snap snap, WaPo changed it.

Nanjiana wrote, “Hey @washingtonpost. Big fan. Love what y’all do. Appreciate you covering this. Could you add my wife’s name to this headline please? She is Emily V Gordon, & not just the inspiration, but one of the writers of The Big Sick.”

Within 30 minutes, WaPo quickly obliged. See the story by Travis Andrews here.
