Akshay Dimple advice Twinkle over Aarav’s refusal to share password with Twinkle
It’s known fact that Twinkle Khanna dons many hats as a wife, entrepreneur, and author and taking on the role of an interviewer.
However, one of her most important roles is that of a mother to her two children.
As a columnist with Times of India, in her column for Twinkle has candidly voiced her frustration watching her son, Aarav Kumar’s transition into adulthood and her grapple with feeling “useless” as he requires space and boundaries.
She recounted a moment in her column, that made her realise the growth of her son..A call from a health insurance agent inquiring on her health insurance policy and her 21-year-old son Aarav’s doctor’s visits by the agent which stunned her when she refused to share the information on Aarav due to his status as an adult, emphasising his privacy.
Hailing from an Indian family where the concept of privacy amidst parents and children might seem unfamiliar, Twinkle decided to reach out to Aarav, requesting his password to his account. However, his immediate response was a firm refusal, stating, that he is 21 not 12 and can handle his his own things.
Reportedly, Akshay Kumar.intervened and attempted to reassure her by highlighting her responsibilities toward their younger daughter, Nitara, and her demanding work schedule.
But, it was Twinkle’s mother, veteran actor Dimple Kapadia, who provided her with a valuable perspective. Dimple cited an example from a red carpet event, where she tried to fix Twinkle’s hair, but Twinkle declined her help, asserting that she can do it herself. Dimple reminded her daughter of the words she had once shared told her mother. Dimple said to Twinkle, “Weren’t you the one who once told me that unsolicited advice is just interference.”
Twinkle concluded her column stating that she took her own advice to heart and decided to embrace this new phase of her son’s life and learn to let go.
She emphasised the importance of parents transitioning into the role of friends rather than hovering over their adult children, as these young adults need supportive friends more than overbearing parents.
