Bollywood actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna marked a special family milestone on September 27, as her daughter Nitara Kumar officially stepped into her teenage years.
To celebrate Nitara’s 13th birthday, Twinkle shared a playful GIF on Instagram featuring herself, her mother Dimple Kapadia, and sister Rinke Khanna. True to her witty style, she captioned it: “It’s the little one’s birthday, but the real circus is clearly over here. Three women, one photo booth, and absolutely no dignity. Any bets on who’s the mother?”
A Birthday Full of Fun
The GIF showed the three women wearing oversized party goggles while holding quirky placards. One placard read “Cheers to 13 years”, another declared “Finally 13, ready to party”, and a third flashed “#Swagger”. The trio posed against a sparkling golden backdrop, adding shimmer and fun to the celebration.
Nitara, daughter of Twinkle Khanna and superstar Akshay Kumar, has now entered her teenage years, making the day extra special for the family.
A Family of September Celebrations
Interestingly, September is a month of multiple birthdays for Twinkle’s family. Her husband Akshay Kumar, son Aarav, and daughter Nitara all share this birthday month, giving the family plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Twinkle’s Current Professional Journey
On the work front, Twinkle Khanna is winning praise for her OTT talk show “Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle”, which has been trending at number one since its launch. Known for blending humor with sharp observations, she has successfully carved a niche for herself beyond films, transitioning into writing, digital media, and now OTT content.
Spotlight on the Khanna Women
Twinkle’s sister Rinke Khanna, who once worked in Bollywood, chose a quieter life after marrying London-based businessman Sameer Saran in 2003. Their daughter Naomika Saran has become a paparazzi favorite, often noted for her striking resemblance to her grandmother, Dimple Kapadia.
Dimple herself remains one of the most iconic performers of Hindi cinema. She entered Bollywood with a bang in Bobby (1973) as a teenager, and just a year later, at 16, married superstar Rajesh Khanna. By 17, she had become a mother to Twinkle, and later welcomed Rinke. Though she separated from Rajesh Khanna in the 1980s, the two co-parented their daughters. Dimple went on to deliver acclaimed performances in films like Sagar and Rudaali, cementing her place as a powerhouse actress.
Twinkle and Akshay: A Power Couple
Twinkle Khanna married Akshay Kumar in 2001, and the two have since become one of Bollywood’s most admired couples. Together, they raise Aarav and Nitara, balancing a life of family, creativity, and stardom.
