Timeline
Twinkle Khanna (born 29 December 1973), also known as Tina Jatin Khanna, is an Indian author, columnist, interior designer, film producer, and former actress.
Khanna made her acting debut with the musical romance Barsaat (1995), which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
She was cast by Dharmendra and before the film's release Khanna signed for two more projects.
It performed well at the box office and became the sixth-highest-grossing film of the year, and she received the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her performance.
The following year she played lead roles in Raj Kanwar's action film Jaan and Lawrence D'Souza's romance Dil Tera Diwana opposite Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan respectively.
Jaan was a box office hit and Dil Tera Deewana failed to do well.
K.N. Vijiyan of the New Straits Times wrote that "Khanna does not look like a typical Hindi actress".
While reviewing Dil Tera Diwana, Vijiyan wrote about Khanna: "Unlike her previous movies, she looks really good in all her scenes and she can act well."
In 1997, two films featuring her; Uff! Yeh Mohabbat and Itihaas were released.
Both of these films were poor box office performers.
Khanna went onto appear in films such as Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai (1998), Seenu (1999), Baadshah (1999) and Joru Ka Ghulam (2000).
Her only release in 1998 was Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, which featured her as Salman Khan's love interest and was a box office success.
Khanna acted opposite Akshay Kumar in two action films: International Khiladi and Zulmi (both 1999).
In the former she played a news reporter who falls in love with a criminal whom she interviews.
Both performed poorly at the box office.
She was paired with Daggubati Venkatesh in the Telugu film Seenu (1999).
Khanna played the lead role in Baadshah (1999), featuring Shah Rukh Khan as a detective.
In the same year, she acted opposite Saif Ali Khan in Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan, a romantic comedy directed by Mahesh Bhatt.
Similar to The Seven Samurai in story, it was an average grosser at the box office.
After Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega (2001), Khanna retired from films.

In 2015, Khanna released her first non-fiction book, Mrs Funnybones which was declared a bestseller, making Khanna India's highest-selling woman writer that year.

It was produced under Khanna's production house Mrs. Funnybones Movies which was set up in 2016.
