Twinkle Khanna is perhaps best known for her sense of style – she is, without doubt, one of the best dressed women in India and is one of those few people who have the ability to get it “right” for most of the time. However, she has some good films to her credit too – she quit acting in 2001 after marrying hubby Akshay Kumar, but prior to that she made her mark within the industry. For her birthday, we’ll take a look at some of these very films.

1. Barsaat

Barsaat was Twinkle’s first film (she starred opposite Bobby Deol in this one), and it was definitely a good start – the film did well at the box office and Twinkle received a Filmfare Best Debut award for her performance.

2. Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai

I used to really like this movie when it first came out! Cute, wasn’t it? It had a lot of good songs, too – this being one of them.

3. Baadshah

In this film, Twinkle Khanna plays the sister of a secret agent, who gets caught up in a elaborate plan involving a fraudster team and pseudo detective. And how pretty does she look in this song?!

4. Mela

So this film definitely didn’t do very well at the box office, but it just goes to show that even in her short-lived career, Twinkle managed films with the three Khans – Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. Not bad at all!

5. Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega

This was Twinkle’s last film, and opened to mixed responses. She plays the love interest of a fake kidnapper, thereby getting caught up a in comedy-of-errors type situation.

Happy Birthday, Twinkle, from Team MissMalini! While we don’t get to see you on screen anymore, your numerous “perfect” public appearances certainly do make up for it!
