She wrote another book comprising an anthology of stories titled The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad in 2017 and followed it with the novel Pyjamas Are Forgiving, which came out the following year. In 2023, Twinkle wrote Welcome to Paradise, a collection of five short stories, each with a central female character. As per several media reports, Twinkle has a massive net worth of around Rs 350 crore.
