Twinkle Khanna recently opened up about an uncalled-for interaction with a filmmaker she had once. Twinkle was speaking to veteran actress Waheeda Rehman for an interactive session on Tweak India, when she said a director once asked her if she will be willing to pull off a "Mandakini" inspired scene for a rain sequence.
Recalling the unsavoury conversation, Twinkle said, "I was wearing a white kurta, and ready for the quintessential rain song, and the director comes with a shawl wrapped around, imitating Guru Dutt. And he says, ‘If I tell you to do a Mandakini, what will you say?’ I said I will say two things. First, I will say ‘no’, and secondly, ‘You’re not Raj Kapoor'. He never spoke to me, he never repeated me, and it was horrible.”

For the unversed, Mandakini, a former actress, had created quite a buzz in 1985, with her appearance in a song from the film Ram Teri Ganga Maili - Mandakini featured in bathing sequences under a waterfall, draped in a white saree.
Twinkle currently sports many hats - she's a columnist, an interior designer, a producer, all after quitting the film industry back in 2001.
