‘Reading makes you understand how others are smarter’

Chennai

Asked what it takes for her to be humorous, Twinkle said, “Humour has to have a huge nugget of truth to be funny. You cannot laugh at something unbelievable. Whenever I say something on a lighter note, I am basically unwrapping the truth from a different perspective, and that makes it funny.” Popular as ‘Mrs Funnybones’ courtesy her column, Twitter handle and book, Twinkle is the daughter of Hindi cinema’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna and veteran actress Dimple Kapadia. She followed into her parents’ footsteps to face the camera, but did not make it big. However, she used her creative juices to establish herself as an interior designer of repute. But writing is something that seems to come naturally to her.
