Twinkle Khanna was in shorts during her mehndi, recalls celebrity mehndi artist: ‘Dimple Kapadia opened the door and…'
Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar tied the knot 24 years ago in an intimate ceremony. The couple invited 50 guests and surprised everyone when they announced their wedding. Recently, mehndi artist Veena Nagda, who applied mehndi for Twinkle on her big day, recalled the time when she got an urgent call from Twinkle for a bridal mehndi, but since Twinkle did not reveal her identity, Veena was completely surprised when she saw the bride-to-be walking around in her shorts. In a chat with the YouTube channel Meri Sahelli, Veena shared that she can never forget Twinkle and Akshay's wedding as this one of the few times when she got a call from the bride herself. 'I will never forget Twinkle Khanna because she was the one who called me for her mehndi. She called me and said, 'You have to come tomorrow for the mehndi for the bride and 10 other people'. She called me just one day prior. I didn't know it was Twinkle who was calling me,' she said. Veena Nagda shared that she was given an address but when she reached there, a car came to pick her up and that's when she reached the actor's apartment. 'We went but we didn't know the exact destination. We were given someone else's address. We reached there and from there, a car came to pick us up and that's when we got to her house,' she said and added that when she rang the door bell, Dimple Kapadia welcomed her into the house.

That's when she declared that it's my wedding and I want to get bridal mehndi. I was so suprised. She also told me that the wedding is happening the same day. The mehndi was in the morning. I wondered how will the mehndi get enough time to darken?' she recalled. Veena Nagda said that by the time she got done with the bride's mehndi, it was already 4 pm, and she was supposed to get married at 7 pm. 'By 5-6 pm, she removed the mehndi.

The couple did not follow that advice and chose to get married.

‘Jo tera hain woh mera hain..': Twinkle Khanna and Kajol talk about managing finance in their households
Twinkle Khanna's dry wit and humour and Kajol's infectious energy bounced off each other in an episode of The Icons by Tweak India. The two discussed all things acting, parenting, running a household, and staying fabulous. When the conversation shifted to money and managing finances, Twinkle asked the Dilwale actor who is in charge of the bills at her home. Citing her example, she said: 'In my house, school and education I pay for, then I can tell them (my kids) that padhe likhe ho only because of me. So we all split things,' to which Kajol replied: 'Ajay and I are very clear about this: jo tera hain woh mera hain and jo mera hain woh bhi mera hain. And of course, bachhe toh mere hi hain. I think it's more about convenience, honestly; what works online is more me and offline is more him — so we separate it that way.' Running a household and managing finances is no easy feat. With double-income households becoming more popular by the day, having a streamlined plan to budget and invest helps share the burden equally among partners, while setting up your future generations for success. Mukesh Pandey, Director of Rupyaa Paisa, told that financial discipline is key in running a household. According to him, it is the ability to make sound financial decisions, always be within budgets, and avoid impulsive spending so that all the while, one is steadily moving toward set goals. 'Practicing financial discipline is not coming up with ways to save money but creating certain habits that consolidate one's position in terms of finance, increase it, or keep that person secure,' he said. When managing money, Pandey suggested keeping these tips in mind to run your household: Set goals: Setting short—or long-term goals gives you direction for your financial decisions. For example, if an emergency fund needs to be built, loans need to be repaid, or money needs to be set aside for retirement, each rupee earned or spent will have a definition and purpose when clearly articulated goals are stated. – Fix a budget: The backbone of financial discipline is budgeting. It portrays how money flows into and out of the house, showing how unnecessary expenditures can starve essentials such as those for education. Budgeting apps or spreadsheets can give greater visibility and control over a budget. Delay gratification: Financially disciplined people will delay gratification and evaluate the real necessity and future impact before buying that non-essential item. – Automate savings and investment: Automated savings and investments have helped keep that streak of financial consistency while reducing the temptation to divert excess funds into discretionary spending. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), recurring deposit facilities, and auto debits for savings accounts are some tools that are available as effective means. –Monitoring and regular reviewing: Discipline is not a one-time act- it demands persistent commitment. Regular reviews of the progress of your financial plan allow its reference to other changes in income, new goals that have been set, or even economic conditions. It strengthens accountability and preparedness. Pandey added that having a basic understanding of key financial instruments like Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds, Public Provident Fund (PPF), Health & Life Insurance, National Pension Scheme (NPS), Share Investment Plans (SIP) will allow you to keep some control of your financial journey and decisions, rather than follow them.
