Twinkle Khanna Says She Is Not Romantic, But Practical

Darpan News Desk IANS, 24 Feb, 2016 12:19 PM
    Actress turned writer Twinkle Khanna says she is not romantic but a practical person.
     
    "I'm not romantic, I'm very practical. There are lots of fish in the sea; so whoever gets struck with your rod, one is as good as another," Twinkle said at the launch of a book 'The Village Of Pointless Conversation', authored by 'Being Cyrus' and 'Finding Fanny' writer Kesri Khambatta.
     
    Asked if her husband, actor Akshay Kumar, was a romantic person or not, she quipped: "I don't know who Akshay is. Thanks."
     
    The book is based on material developed while scripting Bollywood film 'Finding Fanny', post which Khambatta reworked certain parts of it.
     
     
    Twinkle even complimented him that Lee Harper's book 'To Kill A Mockingbird' could not create the same impression that 'The Village Of Pointless Conversation' created on her. She liked it so much that she felt like "ripping eight chapters of her next book and throwing it in the bin," she said.
     
    Twinkle came up with her own book 'Mrs. Funnybones' last year. 
     
    Asked if she would like to see it adapted into a film, she said: "I think it would be a sort of a tragic-comedy; my mother-in-law will commit suicide, because I've depicted her as a crazy old bat; so I don't think we could ever make a movie on that."
