Actress and author Twinkle Khanna shared in her Times of India column a conversation with her sister Rinke Khanna during Operation Sindoor. Worried about her safety, Twinkle urged Rinke, who lives in Delhi, to move to Mumbai due to the threat of Pakistani missiles. Rinke declined, explaining that she felt safer in Delhi since her home is close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg.
Twinkle Khanna urged sister Rinke to shift to Mumbai during Operation Sindoor for safety from Pakistani missiles
Twinkle Khanna tried to reassure her sister Rinke by offering a safe place and enough food to get through uncertain times. Recalling the moment, she said, “In the midst of Operation Sindoor, I had urged her to come to Mumbai until things settled down. ‘Delhi could be high up on the target list,’ I told her, ‘I don’t have a bunker, but the building has a large basement. I also have two Godrej cupboards we can use as fortifications. Don’t worry about food. I have stocked two months of rations, and the best part is that I have even bought a large stainless steel paneer maker.’ She interrupted me, ‘To use as a shield?’”
Rinke chose not to leave Delhi and relocate to Mumbai during Operation Sindoor. Twinkle recounted, “‘No, to make homemade paneer for us.’ I explained that the fake paneer epidemic is somewhat concerning, and the food minister has already written to our health minister J P Nadda about it. ‘Just bring your kids and come quickly.’ ‘To eat paneer?,’ she asked. ‘No, to be safe from Pakistani missiles.’ My sister refused my kind offer. She lives within one kilometre of the PM’s residence and claimed she felt safer there than hunkering down in the basement with me.”
Twinkle Khanna, daughter of legendary actors Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, is a former actress who has since established herself as a successful author. Her sister, Rinke Khanna, was last seen in the 2005 film Ek Din Anjaane Mein opposite Mammootty and also appeared in Chameli with Kareena Kapoor. Rinke married businessman Samir Saran in 2003, while Twinkle tied the knot with actor Akshay Kumar in 2001.
Operation Sindoor, conducted on May 6 and 7, targeted terrorist bases in Pakistan and resulted in the neutralisation of several militants. The operation was launched in response to the brutal terrorist attack in April that claimed the lives of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
