BollyCurry's very own birthday team are back to celebrate the birthday of the one and only Twinkle Jatin Khanna, a talented actress and now a budding interior designer.

Born on 29th December, 1974, Khanna is the eldest daughter of yesteryear actors Dimple Kapadia and the late Rajesh Khanna. Her sister is Rinke Khanna who is also an actress. Khanna is now married to the successful actor Akshay Kumar and the couple have two children; a son, Aarav Bhatia (born 2002), and a daughter, Nitara Khanna Bhatia (born 2012).

Khanna began her Bollywood career in 1995 opposite Bobby Deol - who was debuting as well - with the film Barsaat. The movie performed well at the box office and gave her the Filmfare award for Best Debut. This lead to her signing up with several more successful films and winning the hearts of the audience and critics alike including Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Baadshah, Mela, International Khiladi, Joru Ka Ghulam and Jodi No. 1.

Though her career was progressing at a good pace, Khanna decided to take a sabbatical from acting after her marriage to Akshay Kumar in 2011, only to make a very small special appearance during the end credits of Tees Maar Khan. She now runs a successful interior designing shop called The White Window. The franchise has won many prestigious accolades and is rapidly expanding on a national level.

Khanna shares her birthday on the same day as her father, but after the untimely death of Rajesh Khanna on July 18th, 2012, she now has to celebrate her birthday without his company. May Rajesh Khanna's soul rest in peace.

To celebrate Khanna's birthday, below are a list of songs that have contributed to her career success:
