Mrs Funnybones: She’s Just Like You and a Lot Like Me is a 2015 Indian non-fiction book written by former film actress Twinkle Khanna and published by Penguin India.[1]

Khanna writes columns for The Times of India and Daily News and Analysis.[2][relevant? ] Her husband had helped her with editing drafts for the book.[3]

Khanna with her husband, Akshay Kumar(centre) and mother, Dimple Kapadia(right), who feature in the book.

Khanna said that the main characters in the book are "a few facts, a little fiction, a few decaying brain cells and a couple of old bones into my brewing cauldron of words." The book highlights anecdotes and the experiences of the author regarding her family, surroundings and the way she handles them.[1] In the whole book, Khanna did not mention her husband by his name.[2]

The book was launched in Mumbai on 18 August 2015 before Dimple Kapadia, akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Jaya Bachchan and Sonali Bendre.[3][4] The book has received critical acclaim particularly for its humour.[5] Megha of The Free Press Journal wrote "[Although] this book is delight to read, it at times gets a little repetitive with the inclusion of some of her columns that have appeared in newspapers."[1] Advaita Kala, the author writing for CNN-IBN called it "endearing, real and well written".[2] It was ranked in Hindustan Times's Best non-fiction books chart.[6][7]
