Twinkle Khanna has hilarious reaction to 'Mela' tribute on back of a truck

Now a celebrated author, former actor Twinkle Khanna has never shied away from poking fun at her acting career, particularly her performance in Mela. Late on Monday, Twinkle took to her Instagram account and shared a tribute to her film, Mela, on the back of a truck, and joked about how the film impacted the entire country.

Sharing a picture of Tinu Verma - who played the villain Gujjar in Mela - on the back of a truck, Twinkle wrote, "Certain things, I suppose, are timeless! This popped up in my messages today and what can I say except Mela has certainly left a mark or a scar, whichever way you look at it, on me and the rest of the nation :)."

For the uninformed, Twinkle had made her acting debut with the film Barsaat in the year 1995. She had earlier said on Koffee With Karan that the audience remembers Mela, despite the film being a box-office dud, because of her performance.

"I have done something which nobody has ever seen. *imitates herself* ‘Rupa, aankhein dekho, Rupa...’ That kind of stuff," she said. 

Twinkle poked fun at Mela in March as well. Responding to a tweet by historian and writer Ramchandra Guha, said, "Melas, by and large, can be hazardous to health- I would know :)"

In 2018, Twinkle returned to showbiz and turned producer. She produced R Balki's PadMan, starring her actor husband Akshay Kumar in the lead role. The film, which generated awareness about menstrual health, received a National Award for best film on social issues.
