Taking to her social media handles, Twinkle wrote, "A big moment. At first, I was hesitant about sharing it. Also, this goes on to show that age is truly just a number and does not hinder you from achieving your goals. I received an exceptional distinction for my final dissertation, which has now 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 :)."
However, it is the concluding part of the note that grabbed eyeballs. Twinkle mentioned that her old friend cast the wrong people in Student of the Year, hinting at the casting of noted filmmaker Karan Johar in his hit franchise. For the unversed, Karan Johar and Twinkle Khanna are childhood friends. Not many do know that the darling daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, Twinkle and famous filmmaker Karan have been to the same boarding school. And since then, they have shared a great bond. In fact, Karan had once confessed that Twinkle was the only woman he fell in love with.
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.
