Twinkle Khanna, the versatile actor-turned-writer, celebrated a significant milestone in her academic journey as she proudly announced her Master’s degree in fiction writing from Goldsmiths, University of London. The accomplishment didn’t stop there as she revealed that her final dissertation had been long-listed for the prestigious Pat Kavanagh Prize at her university.
In her characteristic witty style, Twinkle couldn’t resist taking a lighthearted dig at her filmmaker friend, Karan Johar, known for his hit movie “Student of the Year.” The film, featuring Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, and Varun Dhawan, revolves around their competition to win a prestigious title.
Taking to her Instagram account, Twinkle shared her achievement with her followers. She stated, “A big moment, and at first, I was hesitant about sharing it. But it goes to show that age is truly just a number and doesn’t hinder you from achieving your goals. I received an exceptional distinction for my final dissertation, which has now also been longlisted for the Pat Kavanagh Prize by Goldsmiths, University of London. May I add that perhaps my old friend cast the wrong people in Student of the Year.”
Her post garnered a positive response from her peers and fans. Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor commented, “Aww.. looking great Tina.. and congratulations.” Farah Khan Ali expressed her admiration, saying, “That’s amazing Tina.. So so well deserved.”
In a recent video, Twinkle offered a glimpse into her university life and reflected on the challenges she faced at the age of 48 while pursuing her Master’s degree. She described a year filled with attending classes, working on assignments, and occasionally questioning her sanity as she approached the culmination of her academic journey. Twinkle also shared her strategies for tackling academic challenges, including the submission of assignments, the pursuit of excellent grades, and reliance on ample coffee to stay focused during lectures.
Twinkle Khanna’s academic success and humour continue to inspire and entertain her followers, proving that one is never too old to chase their dreams and accomplish remarkable feats.
