Twinkle marked Rajesh Khanna's birth anniversary last year by sharing two vintage photos of the actor with this caption: "Father's Day will always be in December. He told my mother that I was the best present she could have ever given him as I entered the world, feet first, on his 31st birthday. He called me Tina Baba, never baby, and though I didn't realise it at that point, my upbringing was different from all the other young girls around me...the only man who had the power to break my heart."
