MUMBAI: Actor Twinkle Khanna's dissertation has been nominated for the Pat Kavanagh Prize by Goldsmiths University of London. Twinkle announced the news on Instagram. As she 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.' :)."
