Actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna, who is married to actor Akshay Kumar
and is a mother of two children, says that the current generation of Bollywood
is more equipped to handle the glare of the spotlight thanks to social media.
"It has become increasingly more difficult to keep our children shielded
within our fishbowl existence but I also console myself with the fact that this
generation growing up with social media at the forefront is probably more
equipped to handle the glare of the spotlight than we were," Twinkle told IANS
when asked how she maintains her kids privacy keeping in mind that so much of
scrutiny nowadays is related to star kids.
Akshay and Twinkle tied the
knot in 2001 and together they have son Aarav and daughter Nitara.
She is
also a producer and her last venture was "Padman" that starred Akshay along with
Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte.
The film was based on a short story from
Twinkle's book The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad. The book has already sold 100,000
copies.
Is Twinkle open to writing an autobiography in the near future?
"I think when you write a book about your own life it's very difficult to be
completely honest even with yourself. Fiction will paradoxically always have
more honesty than a memoir," she said.
