Twinkle
Compares
Her
Mother
Dimple
Kapadia
To
An
Overzealous
Detective
The
Mela
actress
wrote,
"Mother
is
prowling
around
the
house
like
an
overzealous
detective
looking
for
clues
of
my
ineptitude
as
a
homemaker.
This
is
an
old
habit.
In
the
past,
when
I
once
asked
her
to
babysit
while
I
was
travelling,
she
messaged
me
at
3am
with
photographs
of
dust
balls
she
had
found
inside
a
duct
in
my
study."
When
Dimple
Kapadia
Made
Fun
Of
Twinkle's
Newly
Done
Highlights
"I
clearly
recall
more
than
one
occasion
when
I
almost
had
to
sit
on
my
hands
so
that
I
would
not
end
up
strangling
my
mother.
Like
the
time,
she
said
my
newly
done
highlights
looked
like
someone
had
spat
paan
on
my
head.
She
said
it
as
a
joke
but
her
criticism,
even
light-hearted,
would
sting,"
wrote
Twinkle.
After
Becoming
A
Mother
Herself,
Twinkle
Developed
A
New
Respect
For
Dimple
Juxtaposing
her
own
relationship
with
her
daughter,
Nitara,
against
that
of
Dimple's,
the
actress
wrote,
"I
know
that
like
most
daughters,
my
self-worth
for
the
longest
time
and
partially
even
now,
is
based
firmly
on
what
I
perceive
as
my
mother's
notion
of
me...I
try
to
help
my
daughter
rejoice
in
her
strengths,
build
confidence,
integrity
and
fearlessness
while
also
throwing
a
few
vegetables
down
her
throat.
But
I
know
I
will
still
slip
up
inadvertently."
Twinkle
Fears
Her
Daughter
Nitara
May
Think
Of
Her
Differently
Than
What
She
Expects
"In
the
future,
she
may
sit
on
a
therapist's
couch
and
moan
about
something
that
slipped
out
of
my
mouth,
perhaps
just
once,
but
has
never
been
forgotten.
Or
she
may
tell
her
partner,
‘You
remember
20
years
ago,
there
was
some
sort
of
quarantine?
While
all
the
other
moms
were
making
delicious
pancakes
with
strawberry
drizzle,
mine
just
gave
me
toast
with
some
peanut
butter,"
wrote
Twinkle.
Twinkle
Raises
A
Toast
To
All
The
Perfectly
Imperfect
Mothers
She
continued,
"I
would
like
to
propose
a
toast
to
all
the
perfectly
imperfect
mothers,
but
since
I
have
run
out
of
alcohol,
the
only
thing
I
can
do
is
pop
some
bread
into
the
toaster
and
wave
it
over
my
head."
The
Actress
Feels
She
Is
A
Lot
Like
Her
Mother
Now
"In
my
forties,
I
have
to
concede
that
I
am
a
lot
like
my
mother.
Often
I
catch
myself
calling
my
daughter
by
bizarre
names
like
‘nainzoid' just
the
way
my
mom,
when
she
feels
a
rush
of
affection
for
me,
calls
me
‘tignashwer'.
There
are
so
many
aspects
of
my
personality
wedged
within
my
seven-year-old,
whose
tongue,
like
mine,
is
sharp
enough
to
carve
a
Thanksgiving
turkey,"
wrote
the
actress-turned-author.
