She
started
off
as
an
actress,
became
an
entrepreneur
and
she
is
now
creating
waves
with
her
books
and
column.
Twinkle
Khanna,
famous
on
social
media
as
Mrs
Funnybones,
doesnt
regret
that
she
couldn't
score
a
success
story
in
films.

Salman
Khan
Didn't
ATTEND
Aishwarya
Rai's
Father's
Prayer
Meet;
Is
This
The
REASON?
Asked
if
she
finds
it
ironic
that
she
didn't
receive
as
much
praise
for
acting
as
opposed
to
her
writing
career,
Twinkle
told
IANS,
"Maybe
I
am
better
at
writing.
So
I
console
myself
with
the
fact
that
I
have
a
career
that
lasts
me
a
lifetime."
Twinkle,
the
daughter
of
veteran
actress
Dimple
Kapadia
and
the
late
superstar
Rajesh
Khanna,
featured
in
films
like
Barsaat,
Jab
Pyaar
Kisise
Hota
Hai,
Mela,
Baadshah
and
Joru
Ka
Ghulam.
But
failed
to
make
a
mark.
She
then
became
an
entrepreneur,
exploring
her
interest
in
interior
designing.
Her
writing
skills
came
to
be
known
via
her
column
in
a
daily,
and
eventually
she
turned
an
author.
She
calls
her
professional
journey
gratifying.
"Considering
that
I'm
here
at
this
platform
at
this
point
of
time,
I
think
it's
been
quite
gratifying," she
said.
Be
it
her
books
"Mrs
Funnybones"
and
"The
Legend
of
Lakshmi
Prasad",
her
comments
on
social
media
or
even
the
columns
she
writes,
Twinkle
has
always
managed
to
see
the
funny
side
of
life.
What
makes
her
do
that?
"Humour
is
nothing
else
but
a
part
of
candour...
There
is
nothing
that
you
can
ever
say
which
is
funny
unless
it
has
a
nugget
of
truth
in
it.
All
I
do
is
unwrap
a
little
bit
conditioning
and
present
it
slightly
in
an
incongruent
manner,"
said
Twinkle,
who
is
the
wife
of
actor
Akshay
Kumar
and
a
mother
of
two.
Asked
why
she
doesn't
star
with
Akshay
in
films,
Twinkle,
who
is
the
brand
ambassador
of
Loreal
Professionnel,
quipped:
"You've
just
asked
me
a
question
that
I
am
doing
better
as
a
writer.
So
why
would
I
do
something
that
I
wasn't
doing
as
well
as?
Logic."
Currently,
Twinkle
is
busy
with
her
film
production
Padman,
which
stars
Akshay
and
Radhika
Apte.
Directed
by
R.
Balki,
the
film
is
inspired
by
Padma
Shri
awardee
Arunachalam
Muruganantham,
and
will
chronicle
his
journey
of
finding
a
way
to
make
cheap,
affordable
sanitary
napkins
for
women
in
his
village.
Talking
about
the
film,
she
said:
"Padman
is
something
which
is
a
very
important
topic
and
I
am
just
glad
to
be
a
part
of
a
project
that's
bringing
awareness."
