Twinkle Khanna turns 46 today and if you read her tweets or books, you know she’s the funniest person in the room.
Here’s a list of all the times she’s proven it to us that she’s the savage Mrs. Funnybones.
01. Why she didn’t change her name to Kumar
Sourced from a HT article, Twinkle Khanna revealed the reason for not changing her name from Khanna to Kumar after her marriage to Akshay Kumar.
”Why I didn’t change my last name from Khanna to Kumar. My answer has always been the same- I am married not branded. I am not a tiny company that a big firm like Godrej has taken over and now I have to change my brand name as well,” she said.
02. When Akshay became her Trophy Husband
Remember the time when Akshay Kumar received the National Award for Best Actor for his performance in Rustom. Twinkle shared this picture and wrote, “So now I can officially refer to him as my trophy husband 🙂 #NationalFilmAwards.”
03. Travel Time with Mr. K
“A tip for Indian men : A black woolly turtleneck can make most of you seem exponentially smarter, especially if you don’t ask the woman sitting on the other side of your precious jar of granola what ‘exponentially’ means. Also it doesn’t help if you call the other person ‘Maha Pakau’ when they try to give you the correct definition. #TravelDiaries,” captioned Twinkle.
04. Commentary on momma’s cooking
Twinkle is also one sassy daughter who doesn’t spare even her mother. Twinkle recently shared a picture of how her mother made her fried rice in lockdown, writing, “It has only taken 46 years, a pandemic and an extended lockdown for my mother to make me my first meal-fried rice. Now I also know what people mean when they say ‘Maa Ke Haath Ka Khana’ #MamaMia.”
05. Aarav’s gotten his facts right
Twinkle had once revealed that her son Aarav has saved her number as ‘Police’. Sharing a picture of herself, posing in front a police vehicle, she wrote, “Considering my son has saved my number as ‘Police’ on his phone I suppose this is rather apt :).”
06. Akshay’s Onion Earrings
Twinkle Khanna once got a unique gift by Akshay Kumar and she flaunted it on Instagram. She captioned this pic as, “From one shoot to another:) I am glad I got the chance to wear my priceless gifts that were brought home from a shoot, before they started sprouting shoots themselves:) #OnionsAreAGirlsBestFriends”
07. When she admitted Rajesh Khanna was a Cool Dad!
Twinkle has revealed how her father Rajesh Khanna was the original cool dad. On Father’s Day, she shared an old article revealing how the father-daughter duo used to exchange dating advice. Sharing what he once said as a joke, she wrote, “‘Don’t have one boyfriend,’ he once said to me, ‘always have four at a time, that way your heart will never be broken’.” Twinkle has written that he treated her like an equal, and revealed, “He was the one who gave me my first sip of alcohol, Scotch on the rocks in a glass too heavy for my hand.”
08. Mela
Twinkle has accepted it many times that she had no talent for acting and that writing was always her passion. Therefore, when someone makes fun of her films such as Mela, she, too, joins them. Earlier this year, Twinkle responded to a tweet by historian and writer Ramchandra Guha, in which he’d written that a planned Ram Navami mela in Ayodhya ‘must be stopped’ amid the coronavirus pandemic. “To go ahead with this Mela now is to trifle with the health of millions of Indians. It must be stopped,” Guha had written, to which Twinkle had responded, “Melas, by and large, can be hazardous to health- I would know :)”
09. Akshay’s Coffee Experiment
“Writers need caffeine almost as much as pencils require graphite:) But..this is the reason why I have never asked him to make a cup of coffee for me again! #throwback #writerswoes,” captioned Twinkle.
10. Halloween Spirits
On Halloween day, Twinkle shared this picture of herself and captioned it as, “Happy Halloween. #halloween #deadwomendonttalk #laughoutloud.”
