The launch event for Twinkle Khanna's book 'Mrs Funnybones Returns' was marked by insightful conversations celebrating womanhood.

Her own writing process has evolved; she now finds inspiration not by waiting for a muse, but through everyday activities like tending to plants or walking her dog, with ideas often surfacing unexpectedly.

She expressed that the anxieties of youth regarding relationships and appearance have dissipated, replaced by the richness of accumulated life experiences. This perspective shift allows for a greater sense of freedom and investment in life's pursuits without concern for external validation.
