Explaining how a book "acts as a navigational tool to guide us through this expedition called life," Twinkle Khanna shared, "There was a time when my little one (Nitara) wanted to discontinue her swimming lessons. A tan had become her nemesis. ‘I want to be the same color as bhaiya (brother).’ A chance remark by a foolish relative within her earshot had not gone unnoticed. ‘She is so cute but not as fair as her brother!’"
The actress further added, "I gave her (Nitara) Frida Kahlo’s illustrated biography. Gleaming skin of a shade not unlike hers, with eyebrows that met in the center, a formidably talented woman as a role model. These days, she claims she doesn’t need to use as much sunblock as her brother. ‘White is a light color, so it gets dirty fast like my T-shirt; brown is darker, so it doesn’t.’"
Akshay Kumar talked about Twinkle Khanna and her role as a mother
Akshay Kumar recently talked about his wife Twinkle as a mom. First, he mentioned that he does the labor while Twinkle is the one with the brain. “Main to anpadh aadmi hu, zyada padha nahi hu. Main gadha mazdoori karta hu, wo (Twinkle Khanna) dimag wali hai. (I am an illiterate man, I have not studied much. I do manual labor, whereas she is the one with the brain)," Akshay said.
While lauding her as a mother, Akshay said, “I go to work and she has taken such good care of my children (son Aarav and daughter Nitara). I am surprised about how my wife looks at life even today. She is 50 now and still goes to study. She has finished her master's and is now doing her PhD.”
