LONDON: Twinkle Khanna poses with Rishi Sunak

LONDON: Actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna gushed about educator and writer Sudha Murty as she shared a video from a recent event in London, which had Sudha’s son-in-law and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in attendance. Twinkle also posed with the politician at the event. Actor-husband Akshay Kumar was also seen with them.  

Twinkle, who recently completed her Masters in Fiction Writing at the prestigious Goldsmiths, University of London, took to Instagram Reels to share a video montage of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performing at the event. It also included a photo of Twinkle and Akshay posing with Rishi Sunak. They were all dressed in formal and semi-formal outfits.

In her caption, Twinkle joked about wearing high heels for the event. She wrote, “As much as I dislike wearing heels and dressing up, this evening was worth all the damaged toes. @sudha_murthy_official remains my hero, but it was pretty cool meeting her son-in-law, the prime minister 🙂 @rishisunakmp Also put the sound on and hear @andreabocelliofficial. Congratulations @anusuya12 and @theowo.london (red heart emoji).”

Twinkle Khanna’s connection to Sudha Murty

In 2021, to mark the second anniversary of her digital platform Tweak India, Twinkle had interviewed Sudha Murty, and the two had discussed their lives and choices.

During their talk, Twinkle had said that sometimes, children who come from well-off homes have a certain amount of guilt. She asked Sudha how she ensured that her children remain grounded.

Sudha had also opened up about realising that she can’t rely on anybody else except herself. “You are the best friend to yourself and you’re the worst enemy of yourself too,” she had said.
