Twinkle wants to learn salsa
Multi-faceted talent Twinkle Khanna, who forayed into film production with Pad Man, says salsa dance and speaking French are two skills she wants to learn. A former actress, Twinkle is an interior designer, a columnist, author and entrepreneur apart from being a doting wife and mother. In an interview with an esteemed magazine, Twinkle has spoken about her favourite thing about herself. She said: “I look after my brain. Eventually, I will come to a point where looks will begin to fade and I'd have to rely on my brain until I get Alzheimer's and then I'd have nothing to rely on.”
“What you need is to learn a new skill. New skills forge and fire new neural connections,” she added.
‘We need to take sides, take stands and we need to talk about how far we can push the cinema, what happens behind closed doors and how professional it isIJ We need to come out and talk about things; whether there is an ecosystem in the industry or not’
