Top 10 Bollywood Actors Wives Who Run Their Own Business

9. TWINKLE KHANNA

Twinkle Khanna had had a not so very successful career in movies before she got married to the action star Akshay Kumar in 2001. After her marriage, the actress decided to keep her film career at backburner and focus on her married life. When people did not see her in any film post marriage, everyone almost wrote her off. But no one had thought that years after her marriage, the daughter of India’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna and sex siren Dimple Kapadia would breathe new life into her career, though in a totally different way.

Instead of going back to films Twinkle Khanna decided to take an untrodden route. She started an interior designing firm called ‘The White Window’ in Mumbai. Within a very short span of time, her interior designing business gained momentous and established the former actress as a force to reckon with in her new arena. Some of the big and popular names from tinsel town are her regular clients.

Apart from interior designing, Twinkle is also a well-known newspaper columnist at Daily News and Analysis after hours and the The Times of India and author. Her debut novel ‘Mrs Funnybones’ hit stands in August 2015 sold more than 1 Lacs copies all over the world, fetching her the title of India’s highest-selling female writer of 2015. She walked away with the Crossword Book Award 2016 for her first book and India Today Woman Writer of the year 2017. Buoyed by the stupendous response her first book generated, Twinkle soon penned down her second book titled ‘The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad’ which received excellent reviews all over and debuted at No 2 on Amazon. Twinkle Khanna is also a film producer and has produced almost six films under Grazing Goat Pictures. She has recently laid down the foundation of her own production house and the first film which is being made under is titled ‘Padman’ and stars her husband Akshay Kumar.
