“I remember my first job was delivering fish and shrimp. My grandmother’s sister ran a fish company. Her name was Machiwara. It was my first job, and when I told someone about it, they said, “To Machiwari Hai?” (Are you a fisherman),” Twinkle told Tweak India during a conversation with Johnny Lever.
Using his own example, Twinkle asked Johnny what was the name of the weirdest job he did before making comedy a profession.

She is an avid reader, and when she was younger she said she wanted to be a Chartered Accountant (CA).
“I’ve worked all my life. My first job was working for my grandmother’s sister’s company, delivering boxes of fish and shrimp. Later, while working as an interior coordinator’s assistant, I passed the CA exam. I applied, mathematics has always been my favorite subject,” Twinkle added. Twinkle then started getting film offers and her mother told her the girl was “the right age to make that much money,” she said.
Twinkle made her Bollywood debut in 1995 with Bobby Deol in Barsaat. She also acted in movies like Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Baadshah and Joru Ka Ghulam.
