Twinkle Khanna's surprising confession—'Wish Hema Malini was my mother'
Twinkle Khanna, author and daughter of veteran actors Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, has jokingly revealed that she sometimes wishes Hema Malini was her mother. In a new column for The Times of India, Khanna wrote about the importance of clean water and how Malini has been a vocal advocate for it. She also shared an amusing anecdote about her own mother's response to her concerns.
Khanna lauded Malini for her continued efforts
In her column, Khanna drew a comparison between Malini and her own mother. In jest, she wrote that the sound of water trickling from her water purifier filter reminded her of Malini, referencing Malini's famous advertisement for an RO. She went on to praise the actor-turned-politician for her efforts to promote clean water in India.
'No one is more interested in clean water than Hema'
Khanna wrote, "No one in the country is more interested in giving India clean water than Hema ji." "After endorsing water purifiers for years, she is now performing a dance ballet on the shores of the Ganga to spread a message to keep our rivers clean." "But will our citizens listen to her appeal or will it be a case of you can lead a horse to the water but you can't make him drink?"
Khanna on benefits of having Malini as one's mother
Khanna further wrote how she shared her concerns with Kapadia about India not having "clean roads water air or even basic harmony," but was brushed off. The former actor then added, "This is not the first time I have wished that Hema Malini was my mother instead. Not only could we discuss clean water at length but I would also receive a lifetime supply of free water purifiers."
