Twinkle Khanna shares an essay written by daughter Nitara

• Twinkle Khanna posted an essay of her daughter Nitara Bhatia.
• Nitara wrote that her mother looked like a 60-year-old when she was in her 40s.
• Twinkle described Nitara’s work as the strangest thing.

Twinkle Khanna, author and former actress, posted an assignment of her daughter Nitara Bhatia on her Instagram account.

She revealed that when she was in her 40s, Nitara thought she ‘looked’ like a 60-year-old. It happened when Nitara wrote about her mother at school.

Nitara wrote in her essay about Twinkle. “My mom is 60 years old. She has brown eyes and brown hair. Her job is to work on computer all day. She loves to eat spaghetti. She loves to drink lemon water. She is really good at making coffee and yoga. She always says I love you Nainu. She is happy when I read well in class. She is super because she managed the house and packs my tiffin.”

Twinkle described Nitara’s work as the strangest thing Nitara had ever said. “A throwback to when I was 44, but according to my child, I clearly looked 60,” she explained. Nothing has changed since then—I still work on the computer all day and, yes, I can make a mean cup of coffee! “What is the oddest thing your child has said about you?” In response to the post, several moms commented with anecdotes from similar situations.

Twinkle is married to Akshay Kumar, an actor. They have two children: Aarav Bhatiya, 20, and Nitara, 10. Twinkle is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Fiction Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London.

She is a former actress turned screenwriter who has also produced films. She also launched her own website, Tweak India, on which she discusses a variety of topics.

When it comes to ageing, Twinkle said last month that wrinkles should be viewed as ‘general’s medals,’ pinned to the skin to remind one of the battles they have survived and won.

“Age is a mathematical problem. There are numbers that need to be tackled. It is not a division sum though, where we are reduced to a fraction of what we once were. It is a multiplier. At 40, you are still the pigtailed girl who once climbed trees and beat up all the boys. The young woman with a disdain for convention. The new mother with leaky breasts and fierce ambition.”

“As you go along, you carry every version of you inside. You don’t have one heartbreak, one breakdown, one true love, one success; you have a mountain of them. And those wrinkly-crinkly lines? How about we consider them the equivalent of a general’s medals, pinned to our skin, a reminder of all the battles we have survived, and the ones we have won. Agree? Disagree?”
