Twinkle Khanna has once again struck a chord with her unfiltered honesty, this time opening up about ageing and menopause in her early 50s. In a make-up-free Instagram post, the author and former actor dismissed the idea of “graceful ageing,” instead offering a realistic look at what it actually takes to feel good during menopause.

With her signature wit, Twinkle described menopause as physically and emotionally draining, comparing herself to a phone with a faulty charger — always running low on energy. She clarified that her current sense of wellbeing is not the result of acceptance alone, but of consistent effort through weight training, supplements, meaningful work and supportive friendships.

She also spoke about embracing joy in simple pleasures, including reading, writing and playing mahjong with close friends. While still considering hormone replacement therapy, Twinkle shared the list of supplements she uses, responsibly advising followers to consult doctors before trying anything themselves.

The post resonated widely for its honesty rather than promises of quick fixes. By speaking openly about menopause without glamour or fear, Twinkle Khanna reinforced that ageing is not about hiding struggles, but about finding what helps you feel strong, balanced and authentic.
