Akshay Kumar often jokes that Twinkle Khanna has only done a few movies out of which only one is a hit. Well, she may not have had an illustrious array of hits like her husband, Twinkle did deliver a few successes in her tenure as an actress. Her debut movie Barsaat with Bobby Deol was a superhit, Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai with Salman Khan a semi-hit and also Jaan with Ajay Devgn which was hit.
