At 49, Twinkle Khanna decided to continue her education and moved to the UK. After taking online courses during the pandemic, she chose to pursue academics full-time. While applying to universities, she realised she'd be attending college alongside her son Aarav, though they ended up in different institutions. It was also important for Twinkle to move with her younger daughter, Nitara.

Twinkle Khanna shared that growing up in an unconventional family meant she never had to ask for permission. "There was no one to ask permission from," she said in a chat with FICCI FLO. She then spoke about her supportive family, especially her husband Akshay Kumar, who readily agreed when she decided to move countries. Twinkle added that even if Akshay hadn’t agreed, she would have gone ahead with it, though it would have been difficult and traumatic.

After Twinkle's graduation, Akshay shared a heartfelt note alongside a photo from the ceremony. He wrote, "Two years ago, when you told me you wanted to go back to studying, I wondered if you really meant it. But seeing you manage student life, home, career, and family so effortlessly, I knew I had married a superwoman. On your graduation day, I wish I had studied more to find the words to express how proud I am of you, Tina. Congratulations and all my love."
