Twinkle Khanna, known for her sharp humour, recently shared a relatable post about experiencing hot flushes during menopause, resonating deeply with women facing the same phase. Sharing a picture with her pet dog on Threads, Twinkle wrote, “Both of us are suffering. Me: Hot flushes. Him: Itchy ears. One of us is, as usual, chasing their own tail. Guess who.” Her candid admission received an outpouring of empathy, tips, and encouragement from followers.
One user commented, “Hot flushes are the worst. Hang in there Twinkle. Mood swings & all the other symptoms have to be endured……one day you will be just fine. Take care.” Another advised, “Try Ayurveda Twinkle, worked for me like magic! Keep rocking as always.”
Health experts explain that hot flushes are sudden feelings of intense warmth, sweating, and flushing often affecting menopausal women due to hormonal changes, primarily falling oestrogen levels. While lifestyle changes, diet, and Ayurveda are suggested remedies, severe symptoms often require medical advice. Twinkle’s honest and witty take on this difficult experience opened up a safe conversation space for her followers, showing how humour can normalise taboos around women’s health.
