This is how Karan reacts to Twinkle's joke about casting 'wrong people' in SOTY

Twinkle took to Instagram to reveal the news.

Shw wrote, "A big moment, and at first, I was hesitant about sharing it. But it goes to show that age is truly just a number and doesn't hinder you from achieving your goals. I received an exceptional distinction for my final dissertation, which has now also been longlisted for the Pat Kavanagh Prize by Goldsmiths, University of London. May I add that perhaps my old friend cast the wrong people in 'Student of the Year.' :)."

Akshay Kumar commented, "Congratulations Tina. I also give you the exceptional distinction every year for being the best mom to our kids but this one is so special. Thank you for making us all so proud."

She graduated from Goldsmiths with an MA in Creative and Life Writing.
