10 Bollywood Actors and their Successful Side Business

#4. TWINKLE KHANNA

Wife of superstar Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna may not have played a very long and successful inning in films, but she is a star in her own ways. If her husband makes multi-crores through films and advertisements, Mrs. Kumar runs a candle business with her mother Dimple Kapadia and makes a lot of money. For your kind information, this is not a small candle business. Their candle company does not operate in Indian markets only, but their candles are exported in many other countries also.

After marrying Akshay in 2001, Twinkle did not pay much attention to her film career. She almost put it on the backburner and busied herself in the married life. When she did not appear in films and media for a long time post her marriage with the action star, everyone almost wrote her off. But Twinkle surprised everyone when she made a comeback, though in a totally different way. Instead of going back to films, Twinkle Khanna started a candle company and followed it up with an interior designing firm called ‘The White Window’ in Mumbai. Within a very short span of time, both her business ventures flourished leaps and bounds and the actress was back in the reckoning once again.

Apart from being a well-known interior designer and candle maker, Twinkle Khanna is also a noted newspaper columnist. Her columns appear in reputed newspapers like DNA and  The Times of India. She is an author also. Her debut novel ‘Mrs Funnybones’ came out in August 2015 sold more than 1 Lacs copies across the world, making Twinkle India’s highest-selling female writer of 2015. Twinkle wrote her second book titled ‘The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad’ which 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 set up her separate production house. ‘Padman’ starring her husband Akshay Kumar, will be her first film as an independent film producer.
