Mumbai, Feb 27 (NationPress) Actress and writer Twinkle Khanna took to social media to document her journey to the ‘City of Joy’. Sharing some enchanting glimpses of the city, she expressed, “A short trip to Kolkata for two discussions allowed me to make a stop at Kumartuli, where skilled artisans create magnificent idols for Durga Puja. I purchased some exquisite shola decorations and listened to tales about the potters who have been honing this craft for generations.”
Further discussing her experience, she added, “I also enjoyed a delightful lunch at @sienna_calcutta and indulged in beautiful saris and handcrafted treasures from @byloomkolkata. What’s the one item you find impossible to resist buying while traveling?”
Twinkle Khanna frequently shares her travel adventures on social media. In a previous travel-related post, she recounted her trip to Rajasthan. Sharing breathtaking views from her forest stay in Ranthambore, she mentioned, “To observe, we must be still. Ironically, it’s easier to remain still when we are in motion. Planes, trains, automobiles, and leisurely walks compel the mind to pause its continuous skipping rope workout—three jumps ahead, two behind—becoming tangled and stumbling repeatedly.”
She elaborated, “Routine is often seen as a set time for fixed tasks. It’s both a productivity enhancer and a cage. When we travel, free from routine, we roam, observe, and marvel. What does travel mean to you? Please share your thoughts in the comments.”
For those unaware, Twinkle Khanna is the spouse of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and the daughter of the late Rajesh Khanna. She was a prominent actress during the 90s and early 2000s. Following the disappointing reception of her film ‘Mela’, she married Akshay Kumar and embarked on a new phase of her life.
A few years later, she transitioned into writing, authoring several books, including “Mrs Funnybones” and “Pyjamas are Forgiving”.
