"Today marks a shift from the past, with women now focused on creating their own opportunities rather than breaking barriers. Twinkle Khanna highlighted this positive change during a recent discussion, emphasizing the importance of women writers shaping narratives for future generations. She stressed the need for collective efforts in making a lasting impact through writing and policymaking.

In the discussion, it was emphasized that writers must engage their readers to make a meaningful connection, likening the process to a dialogue with the audience. Every piece of writing should capture the readers' attention from the beginning and maintain their interest throughout.

Being a writer allows one to continually experience new beginnings, even when personal experiences may have become routine. This ability to relive 'firsts' through writing is seen as a special aspect of the craft.

Khanna also shared insights on managing time as a woman writer, emphasizing the importance of setting aside dedicated time for oneself. Discipline and self-care are essential, even if it means prioritizing personal time over other demands. She noted that female writers may benefit from some distance from their partners to focus on their work. Overall, the writing process can be solitary, but ultimately rewarding."As a writer, Twinkle Khanna asserts that she is primarily motivated by boredom and curiosity rather than relying solely on support from her partner. She believes that these two qualities are constant in her evolution as a writer, compelling her to observe people and ponder their lives. This drive leads her to prioritize observing others over engaging with technology, considering it a form of self-discipline to embrace boredom in a world filled with distractions.
