When Twinkle Khanna spoke about comparisons between son Aarav Bhatia and daughter Nitara’s skin colour: ‘I would tell her that her skin is golden’ | Hindi Movie News

Akshaye Kumar’s son Aarav Bhatia has become an internet sensation as he made a rare appearance in the city. He was spotted with his cousin Simar Bhatia and people couldn’t stop gushing over the young boy. Akshay and Twinkle also have a daughter Nitara who is the younger one while Aarav is their first born. The ‘Mela’ actress had once opened up on raising her children and revealed that parenting the first child was like a manual but she got used to it when they had their second child.
Twinkle also spoke about Nitara as a young little girl compared her skin colour to that of her brother Aarav. The actress said that while Aarav is more on the fairer side, Nitara is of the Indian brown skin tone and Twinkle made sure that she believes to her core that she’s wonderful. The actress said during a chat at FICCI FLO, “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 believes 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 added, “So eventually, one day, I think my proudest moment was when she was sitting with her brother and we were going to the beach and he was putting on sunblock. She said ‘I don’t really need so much sunblock because my skin is greater than yours’. And she said a white T-shirt gets dirty but a brown T-shirt doesn’t. You can’t see it so I am greater. So I thought that was a triumph.”
