Twinkle Khanna says wrinkles should be considered equivalent to medals: 'Reminder of battles we have survived, won'

Twinkle Khanna has shared a post about ageing gracefully and embracing wrinkles like medals, which remind people of the battles they have won.

Twinkle Khanna has shared a post about age and how it is only a ‘mathematical problem’. She said one must consider the wrinkles as a 'general's medals', pinned to the skin as they remind one of the battles a person has survived, and even won. Many of her fans said they strongly agreed with her views.

Twinkle Khanna has shared a new video on Instagram.

Sharing a video of herself relishing a chocolate pastry, Twinkle wrote on Instagram, “Age is a mathematical problem. There are numbers that need to be tackled. It is not a division sum though, where we are reduced to a fraction of what we once were. It is a multiplier. At 40, you are still the pigtailed girl who once climbed trees and beat up all the boys. The young woman with a disdain for convention. The new mother with leaky breasts and fierce ambition.”

She added, "As you go along, you carry every version of you inside. You don’t have one heartbreak, one breakdown, one true love, one success; you have a mountain of them. And those wrinkly-crinkly lines? How about we consider them the equivalent of a general’s medals, pinned to our skin, a reminder of all the battles we have survived, and the ones we have won. Agree? Disagree?"

Twinkle is married to actor Akshay Kumar and the two have a son, Aarav, 20, and a daughter, Nitara, 10. She is currently pursuing Masters in Fiction Writing at the prestigious Goldsmiths, University of London. She is an actor-turned-writer and also produces films. She also founded a health and wellness website, Tweak India.
