Happy Birthday Twinkle Khanna: 8 quotes which make her the sassiest of them all

It was on this day in the year 1974, that Mrs. Funnybones aka Twinkle Khanna was born and soon the world would be witness to her charming wit that even leaves her husband Akshay Kumar stunned.

It's no wonder that the actress-turned-author has two best selling novels (Mrs Funnybones, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad) to her credit and it is her sharp tongue that leaves everyone in splits. Twinkle has a quirky take on everything in life whether it be love, feminism and even the 'taboo' topic of menstruations. Twinkle does not leave any stone turned when it comes to making fun of herself or even her family. While on various occasions, her own son Aarav does not find his mother funny, we beg to differ.

Here's a look at eight quotes by Twinkle which proves that she is the wittiest of them all:

1. Our little satellite reached Mars because it was called MOM. If it was called DAD, it would still be circling the Earth, lost, but not willing to ask for directions.

2. I have not been on Koffee With Karan because my husband was scared that the first word I utter would be penis and he wouldn’t want me to say penis penis penis.

3. We may have potholed roads but at least we have many people willing to travel with us on them.

4. After fourteen years of matrimony, I have discovered that hoping your other half telepathically reads your mind only leads to someone wanting to punch the other one in the face.

5. Universe is not your rakhi brother to give you gifts.

6. Life is full of contradictions. We crave security and independence in equal measures.

7. A wise woman keeps her hands firmly in her pockets and does not accidentally unzip anything, including her mouth.

8. Menstruating doesn’t cause pickles to spoil, temples to collapse or food to rot, nor is it contagious, though it would be rather nice to infect the male population with this so-called ‘curse’ for a month or two, just to sit back and view what I am sure would be a highly entertaining spectacle.

Happy Birthday, Twinkle Khanna!
