Actor-turned-writer Twinkle Khanna, who recently completed her Master’s degree in fiction writing at Goldsmiths, University of London, shared an important achievement on her Instagram account. She announced that her final dissertation has earned a spot on the long-list for the prestigious Pat Kavanagh Prize at her university. 

In her trademark humorous style, Twinkle couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at her filmmaker friend Karan Johar for wrong casting choices in his film Student of the Year. The plot of the movie, starring Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, and Varun Dhawan,  centres on their competition to win a prestigious title.

Taking to her Instagram account, 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.”
