When Twinkle Khanna addressed comparisons with parents Rajesh Khanna, Dimple Kapadia: 'Would you ask an actor after 5years if they can compete with Amitabh Bachchan?'

Rajesh Khanna is considered and was called 'The first superstar of Hindi cinema'. The stories of his stardom and female fan following are crazy. Meanwhile, Dimple Kapadia had her own charm which she continues to exude till today. She's remembered and loved for a wide range of movies right from 'Bobby' to 'Saagar' and many more. Clearly, when their daughter Twinkle Khanna came into the industry, comparisons were bound to happen.

Soon though, Twinkle left acting and now she's a well-known author, called 'Mrs Funny Bones'. 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." But had acting not worked out, she had a backup plan: “If I wouldn’t have been able to become one, then I would have been a physiotherapist.

I never studied it, but I have a lot of interest in it. I read a lot of things and I can tell people about common injuries.

"Talking about how the stardom of her parents helped her, the actress had said, "It supports me in a way that a lot of people think twice before acting fresh with me. I got my first break easily, but after that you are on your own like everybody else."

However, at that time, she didn't feel it was fair to compare her with the stardom of her parents. 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? They have been around for a long time and it will take me that much time.
