Twinkle Khanna and Nitara
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna got married on January 17, 2001, and have two kids, Aarav and Nitara. In her recent column, Khanna talked about how reading a book helped her daughter after she almost decided to give up swimming. Twinkle recounted an incident when a relative compared Nitara`s skin colour to that of her brother Aarav, which made her daughter consider giving up swimming.
Explaining how a book "acts as a navigational tool to guide us through this expedition called life," Twinkle Khanna shared, "There was a time when my little one (Nitara) wanted to discontinue her swimming lessons. A tan had become her nemesis. ‘I want to be the same color as bhaiya (brother).’ A chance remark by a foolish relative within her earshot had not gone unnoticed. ‘She is so cute but not as fair as her brother!’"
