Twinkle Khanna was in conversation with Infosys Foundation Chairperson, Sudha Murthy when they spoke ensuring that their children remain grounded despite coming from well-off homes. The conversation has been uploaded on the Tweak India YouTube channel.

Sudha Murthy said that she once took her son Rohan to meet some tribespeople when he was 13 and told him that many of them are brighter than him and he should never take his privileges for granted.

Twinkle, too, shared what she told her son Aarav when he asked her the question about privilege. "Even with my children, at least I try. One day, my son asked, ‘Why do I have all these things and those people don't?’ And I told him, ‘When you’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth, it's your responsibility to use that. Even if it's not a silver spoon, maybe it's a plastic spoon. But if you have any spoon of any sort, you use that you scoop up some porridge and give it to someone who doesn't have it'," she said.

"And I think from that day, I've also seen him looking at life differently and also realising that privilege is a platform which can be used to help other people," she added.
