Author Twinkle Khanna recently opened up about his her kids Nitara and Aarav get compared for their skin colour by people. Twinkle shares two kids with her actor husband Akshay Kumar. While Aarav was born in 2002, Nitara was born in 2012.
In a recent conversation with FICCI FLO, Twinkle spoke about how she made her daughter feel good about her skin despite constant comparison with her older brother who has a lighter skintone. "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 realised was that… I thought she looked like a normal Indian girl and there was always this comparison between her and her brother in skin colour or things like that. Things that exist in our country. And I decided that I am going to make sure that she believed she is absolutely wonderful, so if she has a unibrow, I told her that look you are as beautiful as Frida Kahlo, and she was as amazing and so are you. If she is brown, I would tell her that her skin is golden,” she said.
