Twinkle's take on Valentine's Day gifts after 20 years

IndiaTimes Thursday, 8 August 2024
Valentine's Day, celebrated widely with extravagant plans and unique gifts, takes on a different tone for couples who have been together for over two decades. Twinkle Khanna, known for her quirky insights, shared a humorous perspective on Instagram about the commercialization of Valentine’s Day. She joked that it might have originated as a medieval board meeting experiment to boost sales after Christmas, making people buy gifts again. Quoting German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt, Khanna reflected on how Valentine’s Day might turn abstract love into something more tangible. However, she noted that for women married for over ten years, the most honest Valentine’s Day gift might be "a headache." Khanna mused that love itself is a paradoxical thought experiment, where accepting each other's flaws creates a uniquely imperfect yet perfect bond, independent of commercial symbols like red roses or cheesy cards. This reflection also promoted her column in the Times of India.
