Twinkle Khanna, with her signature candor and humor, admits her family has a knack for quirky names—a tradition she's continued with her own works like "Mrs Funnybones". The origin of her nickname dates back to her childhood, marked by numerous injuries, breaking bones. "I have broken every bone in my body," Twinkle said, recounting the time spent healing at home, which fueled her love of reading and writing. Her first serious injury happened at eight or nine, when she broke her collarbone after a fall. This self-styled 'Mrs Funnybones', daughter of Bollywood icons Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, also jokes about the funny naming tradition in her family. She created her pen name when she was seeking a Twitter handle, and leveraging humor from her personal experiences of pain.
Twinkle, now 51 and married to superstar Akshay Kumar, has carved out her niche through writing. As a columnist known for witty, insightful musings, her work expanded into bestselling books starting with "Mrs Funnybones" in 2015. Its sequel, "Mrs Funnybones Returns", published by Juggernaut, was recently launched, marking a decade since her debut. Despite her aspirations for fiction, fan affection for her first book led to the sequel, rekindling the connection readers felt.
Reflecting on her brief acting career, with films like "Barsaat" and "Baadshah", Twinkle distinguishes her passion for writing as her true calling. She credits her focus and dedication even amid failure for her journey between careers. She emphasizes preparation over outcome, which resonates through her writing journey, highlighting her recent masters in creative writing from Goldsmiths College. Despite concerns from her publisher about a potential change in writing style, her non-fiction voice remained consistent, though she notes her fiction improved significantly post-degree.
Balancing celebrity life, motherhood, and writing, Twinkle fiercely guards her morning routine, a creative sanctuary. She acknowledges past blind spots in time management and now prioritizes precious morning hours for writing, starting her day as early as 6 AM.
Twinkle is 30,000 words into her next novel, approaching life as a “to-do list” rather than a grand “wish-list”. Her writing journey is a testament to persistence over planning; she writes what she feels, letting stories evolve organically. Her other notable works include "Pyjamas Are Forgiving" and "The Legend of Laxmi Prasad". The affable author’s journey from breaking bones to weaving stories continues to inspire and entertain.
