Tasting Alcohol With Him To Exchanging Dating Advice, Twinkle Remembers Dad Rajesh Khanna On Father's Day

From relationship advices to tasting alcohol with him, Twinkle Khanna recently recalled her childhood days with father Rajesh Khanna. Speaking about the things that defined her bond with him, she revealed the odd tip that her father gave -- "have four boyfriends at a time."

"Father's Day, for me, will always be in December. If my father hoped for a boy as his firstborn, I was never told. All I know is what he said to my mother: That I was the best present she could have ever given him as I entered the world, feet first, on his 31st birthday," Twinkle wrote on her website.

"He always called me Tina baba, never baby, and though I didn't realise it at that point, my upbringing was different from all the other young girls around me. The restrictions drawn around their adolescence did not define mine. The permanent marker, one that would later be passed onto their husbands, to enforce the circle of captivity did not exist in my case."

"He was the one who gave me my first sip of alcohol, Scotch on the rocks in a glass too heavy for my hand. I was permitted to peer into the living room with its shaggy white carpet and its bejewelled people. The light from the chandelier was diffused by the smoke that enveloped the room like a diaphanous veil, then the epitome of liberated sophistication."

"...When I started dating, we exchanged advice. He told me that he was looking for a partner who would lie down in his lap as they would read the same book together.I laughed, 'Dad, this is never going to happen. Your expectations are ridiculous. What if they read slower than you or want to take a break? Just find a decent woman who can tolerate your nonsense and that should be enough."

Wittily, she recalled how Khanna had once asked his daughter to have "four boyfriends at a time".

"Don't have one boyfriend," he once said to me, "always have four at a time. That way your heart will never be broken."
