Twinkle Khanna, known for her wit and sense of humour, recently gave a perfect reply to why she is carrying her father's surname even after 15 years of marriage.

"I put out a hashtag, 'married not branded.' It is not like a big company took over me and now I have to change my logo," she told media here on being quizzed why she uses 'Khanna' instead of 'Kumar.'

The daughter of legendry Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, tied the knots with 'Khiladi' of Bollywood Akshay Kumar in 2001 and have two children together, Aarav and Nitara.

The 41-year-old actress turned columnist and author, after the success of her first book 'Mrs Funnybones,' is all set to come up with her second one soon.
