She's carved a niche for herself and has her individuality which goes beyond being Rajesh Khanna, Dimple Kapadia's daughter and Akshay Kumar's wife. But when Twinkle had started her career, she had reflected on the comparisons with her parents. She had also revealed that she never wanted to be an actor. She said in an interview with Lehren, "I hadn't even thought of becoming an actress back then. I wanted to be an accountant. I have grown up among actors since childhood, hence I was never attracted towards fame. I just felt it was coming to me." However, with time, she started enjoying acting. She added,"I just felt that let's see if I find joy in this (acting). After about two years, I really started liking what I was doing, so I continued."

She admitted, "I am very proud of what they have done, I think it's a very big achievement. But I can't be compared to them. There is a long way to go. And, you are talking about careers which lasted for 10-20 years, I have just begun. Would you ask an actor after 5 years of being in the industry if they can compete with Amitabh Bachchan?

Historical marker approved for Suffolk community founded by former enslaved man
SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) recently approved a state historical marker to highlight a community in Suffolk founded by a formerly enslaved man. The marker is set to be unveiled on Wednesday, April 12 at 10:30 a.m. at 4300 Judah Lane, which is located at the intersection of Judah Lane and Townpoint Road. The marker aims to educate the public about the community of Belleville, which is said to have originated in 1896 after William Saunders Crowdy, who escaped slavery during the American Civil war, established the Church of God and Saints of Christ in Kansas. In 1903, Crowdy purchased 40-acres of land in Suffolk, which eventually became the international headquarters of the church. The community of Belleville developed around the church in the 1920s. According to a release, at the community's peak, it encompassed over 700-acres and included farms, a school, a home for widows and orphans, stores, an electric plant, a music hall and athletic facilities. Although Crowdy himself died in 1908, the church persists today and is known as an African American Judaic organization. The Virginia DHR approved the marker in June of 2023, and the manufacturing costs were covered by the Church of God and Saints of Christ at Temple Beth El in Suffolk.
