Author and entrepreneur Twinkle Khanna, who recently turned 52, is breaking the silence on menopause, describing it with her signature wit and brutal honesty. In a candid social media post, she moved past the cliché of “aging gracefully” to discuss the practical, medical, and lifestyle shifts that have helped her regain her energy.
The “Faulty Charger” Phase
Twinkle compared her experience with menopause to being a “phone with a faulty charger,” noting that the transition was far from generous. Rather than relying on simple platitudes, she credited her current well-being to a structured approach involving:
- Weight Training: Regular strength workouts to maintain bone density and muscle mass.
- Mental Purpose: Finding joy and fulfillment in her work as an author and avid reader.
- Social Connection: Embracing “shallow” fun, like playing Mahjong with girlfriends, to boost her mood.
Twinkle’s “Survival Kit”: Supplements & HRT
While she continues to weigh the pros and cons of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Twinkle shared a detailed list of the supplements she currently uses to navigate this hormonal shift.
Note: Twinkle emphasized that readers must consult their doctors, as “what works for me may not work for you.”

25 Years with Akshay Kumar
The update comes shortly after Twinkle and Akshay Kumar celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. She highlighted that the secret to their long-lasting bond is mutual encouragement. To prove the point, she shared a video of the couple paragliding, noting that they consistently push each other to “fly” and try new things—sometimes literally jumping off mountains together.
