Twinkle Khanna Excels At Uni, Takes A Dig At Karan Johar's Student of the Year: 'Cast The Wrong People'

Actor-turned-writer Twinkle Khanna is currently pursuing Master’s in fiction writing at the prestigious Goldsmiths, University of London. She has now taken to social media to reveal that she has received “an exceptional distinction for my final dissertation, which has now also been longlisted for the Pat Kavanagh Prize by Goldsmiths, University of London”. with this, she also posted a screenshot of the email she received from the university.

Taking to her social media handles, Twinkle wrote, “A big moment, and at first, I was hesitant about sharing it. But it goes to show that age is truly just a number and doesn’t hinder you from achieving your goals. I received an exceptional distinction for my final dissertation, which has now also been longlisted for the Pat Kavanagh Prize by Goldsmiths, University of London. May I add that perhaps my old friend cast the wrong people in ‘Student of the Year.’:)”

However, it’s the concluding part of the note that grabbed eyeballs. She mentioned that her “old friend cast the wrong people in Student of the Year”, hinting at Karan Johar’s casting of his hit franchise. For the unversed, Karan Johar and Twinkle Khanna are childhood friends. Not many are aware that Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia’s darling daughter Twinkle and famous filmmaker Yash Johar’s son Karan have been to the same boarding school. And since then they have shared a great bond. In fact, Karan had once confessed that Twinkle was the only woman he fell in love with.

Many took to the comments section to say that there’s no age bar to learn more. One user wrote, “Many congratulations !! Really impressed Twinkle with all that you attempt to do and manage to do exceptionally well !!” Another wrote, ‘Also shows one can have many careers. And if you get on a wrong bus it is ok to get off however one may be invested and wait for the right one because it is what will take you to your destination. You did that.”
