My Take
What I admire most about Twinkle Khanna is her refusal to coast on Bollywood royalty. Born to film stars and handed an award-winning debut, she could have stayed a screen presence forever. Instead she reinvented herself as a columnist, bestselling author, and producer, building a second life entirely on her own wit. That pivot from inherited glamour to earned, self-made authority is rare and genuinely brave.
