Twinkle Khanna REVEALS her son Aarav and daughter Nitara were compared over their skin colors: 'Exist in our country...'
Twinkle Khanna recently got candid about the comparison that her kids, Aarav and Nitara, have faced for their skin complexions. Twinkle is married to Akshay Kumar.
Actress-turned-author and producer Twinkle Khanna has been married to superstar Akshay Kumar for more than two decades. The couple has two kids, son Aarav and daughter Nitara. Their children often grab headlines for their outings in public, be it heading inside the airport or stepping out for a casual dinner. Twinkle recently revealed that her son and daughter were compared for their skin color while stating that it still exists in our country. The former actress also spoke about how she dealt with the situation.
During a conversation with FICCI FLO, Twinkle Khanna got candid about the comparisons that Aarav and Nitara have faced regarding their skin complexions.
"I learnt a lot with my first child. And I think your first child tends to be that manual. You experiment a little bit on that child. With my second one, what I realized was that… I thought she looked like a normal Indian girl, and there was always this comparison between her and her brother in skin color or things like that. Things that exist in our country," Twinkle said.
Talking about normalizing it, Twinkle recalled making Nitara believe that she was "wonderful." Citing Frida Kahlo's example, the author told the little one that she looks as beautiful as the famous Mexican painter who had a unibrow. The producer also made sure to make Nitara feel like her skin was "golden."
In the same chat, Twinkle also remembered her proudest moment when her daughter Nitara felt confident about her skin color during their beach outing. Twinkle recounted that her son Aarav was applying sunblock, and Nitara told him that she didn't need it as her skin was "greater" than his.
Meanwhile, Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar
took their kids to a family dinner in the city on December 17. A video of them stepping out of an eatery surfaced on Instagram. Nitara left with her friend, followed by Aarav. The couple came out together and posed for paparazzi outside the restaurant.
Twinkle Khanna is best known for movies like Mela, Baadshah, Joru Ka Ghulam, and Jodi No. 1. She tied the knot with Akshay Kumar on January 17, 2001. Aarav was born in 2002. The couple welcomed their daughter Nitara in 2012.
