While majority of the celebrities are extra cautious about the words that come out of their mouth, Twinkle Khanna is known to never mince words. In her recent column for a popular daily, the witty actress took jabs at the recent Arunabh Kumar case, and expressed her opinion on why it isn’t fine if anyone refers to a woman as 'sexy' at workplace. For the uninitiated, advocate Rizwan Siddiqui recently filed a complaint against Arunabh, CEO of the digital entertainment start-up The Viral Fever (TVF), after a woman accused Kumar of sexual harassment. Arunabh has been quoted by a leading daily saying, "I am a heterosexual single man and when I find a woman sexy, I tell her she is sexy. I compliment women, is that wrong?" Twinkle has a fitting reply to Arunabh’s comments. "Sexy’ is an acceptable compliment within a work environment only if she is a stripper and you are her pimp trying to boost her confidence before she takes the stage," she wrote in...

A few years ago, a message on my phone reduced me to tears in the car. I had reached breaking point after months of suggestive messages from a wealthy, powerful client that I had been pretending not to understand because all I wanted to do was to complete the project in a professional manner. And so I ended up as a statistic — the 38% of women who faced sexual harassment at work, according to a survey done by the Indian National Bar association." Twinkle Khanna added, "I am a fairly assertive woman, and married to a man who onscreen punches holes in walls with his bare fists and ...

Akshay Kumar will start shooting for Pad Man in March. When Twinkle Khanna announced the first production, Pad Man, under her new banner, Mrs Funnybones Movies, it was reported that her superstar hubby, Akshay Kumar, would play the lead role. The movie is based on the life of social entrepreneur, Arunachalam Muruganantham. But on Wednesday (January 4), it was rumoured that a Tamil actor would play Muruganantham in the film, which will be directed by R Balki. However, Balki has exclusively revealed to HT that the reports are “completely false”. The film-maker says, “It’s Akshay’s film, and he will be starring in it as Muruganantham. The film will go on floors in March. It’s going to be a fictional take on the social entrepreneur’s life.” Balki added that the film will be shot in a “start-to-finish” schedule. Muruganantham, a school drop-out from Coimbatore, made it his mission to provide low-cost sanitary napkins to poor women across rural India. Twinkle had based t...

His mother, actress Neelima Azeem, was also part of the film featuring Ajay Devgn and Raj Babbar. The two boys would wait for hours to catch a glimpse of Twinkle.

Twinkle Khanna may not have been a very successful actor but she is surely emerging as a widely-read author. Her book, Mrs Funnybones, was an instant hit, making her the highest-selling female author of 2015. And even as we approach the end of 2016, the book’s popularity doesn’t seem to have waned.
