Moving ahead, the author talked about how her family and Akshay were instantly on board with her decision. “I was very lucky that my family supported me. My husband was fine with the fact that I am moving countries and taking my younger one. But, even if he would not have been fine, I would have still done it. But it would have been very difficult and traumatic. There would be a lot of yelling and screaming but he was okay with it.”

Meanwhile, following Twinkle Khanna’s graduation, Bollywood’s Khiladi penned a heartfelt note for her. “Two years ago when you told me you wanted to take up studies all over again, I wondered if you meant it. But the day I saw you work so hard and perfectly manage a full-fledged student life along with home, career, me and kids, I knew I had married a superwoman. Today on your graduation, I also wish I had studied a bit more to know enough words to tell you how proud you make me, Tina. Congratulations and all my love.”
