Mumbai, March 29 – Actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna recently shared her admiration for Gen Z, highlighting their clarity and forward-thinking mindset.
The former actress, who was present at a fashion event, while interacting with the media, said, “I love their energy. And I feel that we keep saying things randomly about Gen Z, but they have a drive, they have an idea, they have a vision of the world which is so different and fresh from ours, that it’s worth listening to what they have to say.”

The author and interior designer was last seen on television with Too Much with Kajol and Twinkle, co-hosted with actress Kajol, which received mixed reviews for its hosting style.
Beyond acting, the Mela actress has carved a strong identity as a bestselling author and columnist.
While Twinkle stepped away from acting years ago, her husband Akshay Kumar continues to dominate the entertainment industry with a packed slate.
He is currently gearing up for his upcoming film Bhoot Bangla, which is set to release in April 10, 2026.
