Twinkle Khanna Graduates With a Masters Degree From the University of London
Former Bollywood actress Twinkle Khanna has added another feather to her cap by graduating with a Masters degree in Fiction Writing from the prestigious Goldsmiths, University of London. Twinkle, who is married to superstar Akshay Kumar, embarked on this educational journey two years ago at the age of 48. She recently attended her graduation ceremony with her family and shared heartwarming posts about this achievement on social media.
Twinkle looked radiant in a green saree as she collected her degree on stage. She shared a video of the ceremony on Instagram with the caption, “And it’s here. Graduation day. My first day at Goldsmiths feels like it was both yesterday and years ago. A sunny day, a pretty sari, and having my family with me make this day even more perfect than I ever imagined.”
She went on to add philosophically, “There comes a stage when the easiest way to grow is horizontally, but we have to push ourselves to grow in myriad other ways. Agree? Disagree?”
Her proud husband Akshay Kumar also posted a lovely picture with her from the graduation day. He wrote an emotional note saying, “Two years ago when you told me you wanted to take up studies all over again, I wondered if you meant it. But the day I saw you work so hard and perfectly manage a full-fledged student life along with home, career, me and kids, I knew I had married a super woman.”
He wished he had studied more himself to find the right words to express how proud she makes him. “Today on your graduation, I also wish I had studied a bit more to know enough words to tell you how proud you make me, Tina. Congratulations and all my love,” he added lovingly.

Twinkle’s Foray Into Writing
Twinkle Khanna bid goodbye to Bollywood in 2001 after acting in films like International Khiladi, Baadshah, Mela and more. She forayed into interior design for a few years before discovering her flair for writing.
Her witty column in DNA titled ‘Mrs Funnybones’ became wildly popular, giving the nation a taste of her humorous storytelling style. This led her to write bestselling fiction and non-fiction books like ‘The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad’, ‘Pyjamas Are Forgiving’, ‘Mrs Funnybones’ and more.
Her latest book ‘Welcome To Paradise’, a fictional tale set in a matriarchal dystopian world, released in 2022. With her Master’s degree from a leading global university, we can expect more insightful and entertaining books from Twinkle’s pen in the future.
Balancing Family Life and Studies
In interviews, Twinkle has mentioned how she spent late nights studying after her kids slept. She would be up early again the next morning to make breakfast and send them to school before resuming her own studies.
Her dedication is commendable considering she also continues to write books, opinion columns and manages her production house while being a hands-on mother. She is an inspiration to women proving that it is never too late to go back to academics while handling multiple responsibilities.
Akshay expressed his pride at how diligently she balanced everything without her work or family life suffering. Their relationship seems to be built on mutual love, support and respect.

Twinkle’s Future Plans
The author-producer has not announced any specific plans post her Master’s degree. However, it has equipped her with deeper knowledge of narrative writing techniques.
With her witty and entertaining writing style, we can expect more page-turners in the fiction genre from Twinkle Khanna. She could also consider scriptwriting given her experience of having grown up in a film family and being part of the industry herself.
Twinkle has earlier produced acclaimed films like ‘Padman’ starring her husband. She may explore more such meaningful stories addressing social issues in her capacity as a producer. Her columns and books also often highlight various facets of Indian society that reflect her sharp observation skills.
Conclusion
Twinkle Khanna’s graduation at the age of 50 after dedicating herself sincerely to the course demonstrates that passion for learning can be revived at any stage. Her supportive family and her own perseverance enabled her to achieve this milestone while balancing her other responsibilities.
We hope she continues to inspire more women to fearlessly pursue their academic or creative goals. With her wit, business acumen and charitable initiatives, we can expect more entertaining, thoughtful and meaningful work from Mrs Funnybones in the future.
