Twinkle Khanna, daughter of legendary Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia tried her hand at acting in the 90s. However, after a string of flops, the actress realised that it is not her cup of tea and moved out of the movie business. During her time as a Hindi film actress, Twinkle appeared in some memorable films including Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Badshah which was released in 1999. Recently, Khanna opened up about the challenges she faced while shooting for the romantic track `Mohabbat Ho Gaye` with Khan in the Abbas-Mustan directorial.
Speaking with Shrayana Bhattacharya, Twinkle Khanna stated, “I know you see all these actresses saying that they don’t diet and they eat everything; it’s not true, most of them are starving. I was starving, if you want your stomach to be flat in all those catsuits that we used to wear—I don’t know why we wore them. This was my own brainwave that I’m going to live on channa. For some reason, being Gujarati, I felt that was also cheap, and you know, I could get it easily wherever I went.”
