Twinkle Khanna, in her recent column in a newspaper titled Mrs Funnybones, made some shocking revelations. She spoke about old claims that she “performed a medley of songs for Dawood Ibrahim”. Back in 2010, actor Akshay Kumar had refuted the claims that his wife attended the underworld boss’ parties in Dubai, calling them untrue. Now, in her new column, Twinkle has written about the “inventions” of the media. She wrote, “We have already witnessed a barrage of manipulated news, from the doctored pictures showing the Phogats smiling during the wrestlers’ protests to countless stories about the origin of the coronavirus.”
Recalling an incident in which she herself was involved, Twinkle wrote, “I even saw my name on a ticker of a mainstream TV channel saying that I had performed a medley of songs for Dawood. Considering that even my children think my dancing skills are as good as a WWF fight between a lone wrestler and gravity, the news channels should have known that Dawood would have chosen more experienced artists. But such is the world of fake news.”
Twinkle Khanna, who has been married to actor Akshay Kumar since January 2001, has two children with him – son Aarav and daughter Nitara.
She has worked in films such as Barsaat (1995) – for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut – as well as Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai (1998), Seenu (1999), Baadshah (1999), Joru Ka Ghulam (2000) and Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega (2001).
In 2015, Twinkle published her first non-fiction book, Mrs Funnybones. Her second book was The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad (2016), a collection of short stories. Twinkle’s third book was Pyjamas Are Forgiving (2018), and her fourth book, Welcome to Paradise, was published in 2023.
