Author Twinkle Khanna has completed her master’s degree in Fiction Writing from the University of London and her husband-actor Akshay Kumar could not be prouder.
On Friday, Twinkle shared a video with the following caption about her getting a master’s degree.
“A year of reading, analysing, figuring out what even eighth graders know these days, how to do citations, dealing with assignments and submissions, and finally, by handing in my dissertation, it all comes to an end.
I thought that handing in my final dissertation would be like breaking out of an academic escape room. But instead of celebrating, I am feeling lost because something that has been such a large part of my life for an entire year is now over,” she wrote.
Twinkle also talked about how she managed in a new city and how difficult it was to move her daughter to a new country.
“For younger students, their parents organise logistics. For people at my stage we are the organisers. I applied to five universities, got rejected by one, but got my first choice. Then, I had to do the tough bits: getting my daughter to move, not just schools but countries; arranging my work in a way that I can manage virtually and fly down repeatedly; working on my book, finding a place to live, doctors, plumbers, delivery apps, and making friends in a new city. It’s all been overwhelming sometimes.The most important lesson I learned this year? Age is not a division sum where we are reduced to a fraction of what we were. It is a multiplier if we choose to keep growing in every way and not just horizontally,” she added.
In the video, she gave a tour of her university.
Twinkle, who enrolled for the master’s course at the prestigious Goldsmiths, University of London last year, also received a shoutout from Akshay.
Beaming with pride, Akshay took to Instagram Story and wrote, “Mastered it and how! So, so proud of you Tina (red heart) Now the most important question, when are you coming back home (laughing emojis)”
