Twinkle Khanna, daughter of actor Dimple Kapadia and late actor Rajesh Khanna, recently revealed she became an actor 'out of necessity'. During her recent chat with actor Kareena Kapoor Khan for her Tweak India platform, Twinkle revealed how she chose the profession as she had a single mother.
Twinkle said, "I know for you it was a choice, but for me, I really didn't want to become an actress. It was out of necessity, I had a single mom and she was providing for everyone." She continued, "I think even for Lolo, it was pretty much that, she had to drop out of college and get into that." When Kareena pointed out that they started 'very young', Twinkle said, "We started very young and really it was about, 'This is the quickest way of us being able to support our families'."
Dimple tied the knot with Rajesh in 1973 and separated from him in 1982. The couple had two daughters - Twinkle and Rinkle Khanna.
Khanna made her screen debut opposite Bobby Deol in Rajkumar Santoshi's romance Barsaat (1995). 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. Twinkle quit acting after working in her last film Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega in 2001.
