Almost everyone has a similar family story in India and this
is what Mrs Funnybones or rather Twinkle Khanna pokes fun at. The husband who’s
the “man of the house”, the crazy mothers in law, friends and of course the
constant jibes at her weight make it an intriguing read. Everything comes
together to leave the reader cackling away in laughter.
It is not entirely an autobiography of the author, nor is it
the typical tell all that celebrities so often write. This is a book of a woman
who is a mother of two, an ordinary version of the star and someone who finds
humour in the everyday situations that women in India face every day. That is
what makes the book relatable even though it has been written by someone who’s
the daughter of celebrities and married to one. Through her own anecdotes and
by drawing parallels between a star’s life and a normal life, she has managed
to write a book which is funny yet at the same time it forces you to think and
comment on the situation.
Mrs Funnybones is a comical take on the life of modern Indian
women.
