Everybody in Bollywood wants to read Twinkle Khanna’s new book

Twinkle Khanna has been “receiving calls constantly” from her “film industry friends” with regard to her book.

After having won over readers with her humour-laden columns, Twinkle Khanna has come up with a collection of short stories. Titled The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad, the book is about female emancipation. The actor-turned-author’s second endeavour received positive reviews. Now, we have learnt that she has been “receiving calls constantly” from her “film industry friends” with regard to her book.

“Ever since the book hit the market, a number of industry people — producers, directors and actors — have been calling her to acquire the rights to different short stories from the same book. She is surprised with the kind of response she is receiving from within the industry,” says an insider.

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna have been married since 2001.

Apparently, Twinkle hasn’t taken a call about selling the rights of her stories yet. “It is too early [to make a decision], as she is still soaking in all the positive reviews. Plus, her husband [Akshay Kumar] has been away from Mumbai (he is shooting in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, for Toilet – Ek Prem Katha). So she hasn’t been able to discuss it with him,” adds the insider.

Neither Akshay nor Twinkle could be reached for a comment.
