Dimple Kapadia made headlines at the 2024 MAMI (Mumbai Academy of Moving Image) Film Festival last night when she declined to pose for photos with her daughter, Twinkle Khanna. The event saw a star-studded attendance, including Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, who came to support Dimple’s latest film, Go Noni Go.
Dimple, dressed in a stylish long brown jacket over a white dress, greeted the paparazzi with a smile. However, the atmosphere shifted when the shutterbugs requested her to pose with Twinkle. Dimple responded with a cheeky remark: “I don’t pose with juniors. Only seniors.” This playful quip quickly captured the attention of social media, with the exchange shared widely by a paparazzo on Instagram.

In contrast, Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar gave the photographers plenty of picture-perfect moments. Akshay looked dapper in a tailored suit, while Twinkle turned heads in a vibrant yellow saree, complete with a quirky hair accessory that added a fun touch to her ensemble. The couple posed happily, radiating warmth and camaraderie.
Go Noni Go, the film in focus is adapted from Twinkle Khanna’s delightful short story “Salaam Noni Appa,” featured in her bestselling book. The narrative follows Noni, a woman in her late fifties whose mundane life takes an exciting turn when she encounters a yoga teacher, igniting romance in her life. Alongside her, her sister Binni joins the journey as they navigate the complexities of love and relationships in their later years.
The film boasts a talented cast that includes Ayesha Raza, Manav Kaul, and Athiya Shetty, with Sonal Dabral directing and co-writing alongside Nikhil Sachan. Dimple Kapadia, a veteran of Indian cinema, has starred in iconic films such as Saagar, Janbaaz, and Ram Lakhan. More recently, she appeared in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Murder Mubarak.
As the festival continues, the interaction between Dimple and Twinkle serves as a reminder of the unique dynamics within Bollywood families, sparking discussions among fans and industry watchers alike.
