# Twinkle Khanna's Dating Wisdom: Tailored Advice That'll Make You Rethink Parenting Teens **Imagine giving your soft-hearted son permission to be bold in love, while coaching your fiery daughter to dial back the aggression—what genius parenting hack is this?** Twinkle Khanna, the witty former actress and author, just dropped this parenting bombshell in a candid chat, revealing why her dating advice to kids Aarav (21) and Nitara (13) is worlds apart.[1] Twinkle's approach hinges on personality over gender stereotypes. For Aarav, described as "**very soft-hearted**," she urges him to raise his boundaries and get a bit more assertive: "Get a little bit more aggressive" in relationships, whether romantic, friendships, or beyond. It's about navigating the world with confidence, not timidity.[1] Flip to Nitara, and it's the reverse: "She has to be a little less aggressive" and lower her boundaries slightly at 13, fostering openness without losing her spark.[1] This isn't one-size-fits-all—it's customized to who they are, proving Twinkle's evolved take on modern parenting. Her insights extend to real-life humility too. Twinkle shares a travel mishap where she admitted fault to her kids: "Do not expect me to be perfect. I am fallible... Accept me for what I am." This builds mutual respect, ditching parental pedestals for honest connections.[1] She also champions real therapy over "Instagram psychology," warning that half-baked social media advice is "dangerous" and no substitute for professional help to become better parents and people.[1] Twinkle's openness resonates amid her family tales—like wishing Aarav and Nitara would elope to skip lavish weddings (she jokes Akshay Kumar nods off by 10 PM!),[2] navigating Aarav's push for privacy at 21,[3] or empowering Nitara against colourism by calling her skin "**golden**."[4] It's relatable, raw, and a reminder that raising teens means adapting, not dictating. What dating (or life) advice would **you** tweak for your kids' personalities?
