Guess Who First Read Twinkle Khanna’s Book, The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad
Twinkle, who is known for her unforgiving sarcasm and biting humour, released her second book recently that is a compilation of various stories
No, the answer is not Akshay Kumar. Although Twinkle Khanna has confessed earlier that Akshay is the first person to read all her columns that she writes for various newspapers and websites, it is childhood friend Karan Johar who first read her book, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad.

She says, “Karan has read it before anyone else, as I would send each story to him after I wrote it. The nicest thing he said about the book is that it reminded him of Malgudi Days.” Karan, who is currently busy hosting Koffee With Karan, Season 5 has kept a book on display for the first time on the sets of his chat show and that happens to be written by Mrs Funnybones.
Talking of Koffee With Karan, when asked what made the ever reluctant Twinkle agree to come on the show, she said that she felt that this time she should be there for Karan. “Karan has asked me to be a guest on his show several times, but I always said no. But he is someone who has always been there for me whenever I needed him. This time, when he asked me, I felt I should be there for him too,” she confesses.

The upcoming episode (on November 13) will feature Mrs Funnybones along with Akshay, the sneak peek of which has already aroused curiosity among the audiences (Karan Johar Always Had His Mind In Other People’s Crotches, says Twinkle Khanna, Nov 7).
Talking about her experience on the show she says, “I enjoyed myself as everything felt very comfortable. I felt as if the three of us were sitting in our living room at our Juhu bungalow and having tea. Akshay, Karan and I cracked the same jokes we usually do when we are together and Akshay made the same complaints he likes to moan about me,” she quips.
Twinkle also revealed that she, in fact, won the Koffee With Karan hamper. According to her it was because of her ‘diplomacy’. She says, “I won the hamper because I was very diplomatic. I am not interested in ranking people.”
Twinkle and diplomacy is an oxymoron, we say.
