# Twinkle Khanna's Hilarious Take on Menopause: "Like a Phone with a Faulty Charger" Imagine feeling like your body is a smartphone desperately searching for a working charger—drained, glitchy, and ready to shut down at any moment. That's exactly how **Twinkle Khanna** described her menopause journey at 52, and her candid Instagram revelations are breaking the silence on this taboo topic.[1][2] The former actress, author, and wife of Akshay Kumar shared makeup-free selfies on Instagram, radiating confidence despite the challenges. She ditched the cliché of "accepting age gracefully" for real talk: menopause hit her with **hot flushes, night sweats, eroding bone mass, thinning skin, and even a rogue chin hair**.[4][5] "Menopause is a bigger bitch than I have ever been," she quipped, comparing it to a burglar that rearranges your life before leaving.[2][4] For years, she felt foggy, tired yet wired, and emotionally exhausted—but no more.[1][6] What turned it around? Twinkle's no-nonsense routine that's equal parts science, sweat, and fun: - **Regular weight training**: After 20 years, she's back to squatting, lunging, and pelvic floor exercises to combat bone loss and build strength.[4][5] - **A "small pharmacy" of supplements**: Her current lineup includes Coenzyme Q10, NAD, Omega-3, Lion's Mane, Health & Hers Menopause Support, Iron, Vitamin D3 + K2, Collagen, and Magnesium Glycinate. (She stresses: consult your doctor—these aren't one-size-fits-all.)[1][3] - **Mental and social boosts**: Reading/writing books for purpose, daily Brahmari breathing, and mahjong nights with girlfriends to embrace her "shallow side."[1][2] She's still weighing **Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)** pros and cons but credits her structured self-care for feeling energized and vibrant.[3] Twinkle's message? Ditch the shame—talk about it, experiment smartly, and own this phase like Rocky Balboa (minus the blood).[4]
