Twinkle Khanna was once asked if she would publish a book on her father, famed actor Rajesh Khanna. The writer delivered an unexpected response.
Twinkle Khanna, a well-known author and journalist, has published several famous novels and frequently expresses her opinions in lengthy blogs on various websites. She is the daughter of renowned actors Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. Rajesh Khanna, widely regarded as the first superstar of Indian cinema, was a big figure in the 1970s, and his popularity was such that his followers would go to any length for him.
In a viral video, Twinkle Khanna was asked if she would write a biography of Rajesh Khanna. The former actress answered by stating that she had no interest in publishing a book about her father. The actress stated that she favours storylines with deeper depths and important messages over those centred on a single individual. Her remark provoked debate, with some acknowledging how tough it must be for a daughter to share anything about her father’s life. The writer concurred: “It is great to write a story about a single person, but for that, there has to be layers, and their stories need to have a message.”
People have requested late star Rajesh Khanna to write his biography, but he declined. The Anand actor expressed anxiety that giving an honest account of his life would divulge intimate information about others, potentially inflicting harm. Khanna stated that people only know him through his films and cinema magazines. Although he wanted them to know his other side, he refused to write a biography.
Meanwhile, Twinkle Khanna recently expressed her passionate reaction to the Kolkala Doctor Rape Case, which has shocked the nation. In an Instagram post, she confessed that even after all these years, she still has to tell her daughter Nitara the same things she was told as a child—to be careful, not to go out alone at night, not to trust unfamiliar males, and so on.
