Twinkle Khanna, Akshay Kumar’s wife and well-known author, recently sparked a lot of speculation with a video she shared on Instagram. Though Twinkle may not have had a long-lasting career in acting, she has earned her reputation as an accomplished writer and outspoken social media personality. Her latest video, however, left fans confused— is she pregnant at 50, or is she facing menopause?
Twinkle’s video has gone viral, with many fans wondering if she’s expecting a baby. In the short clip, Twinkle humorously touches on a common issue for women her age: the confusion between missing periods due to pregnancy or menopause. In her caption, she jokingly talks about “increased anxiety at 50” and invites women to share their menopause experiences. The post has flooded with responses, with many women relating to her anxiety and sharing their own stories.
Twinkle’s Confusion: Pregnancy or Menopause?
In the video, Twinkle Khanna gives a relatable expression and says, “When you’re 50 and your periods are late, you wonder, is it menopause or pregnancy?” The post received an overwhelming response, with women commenting on how confusing it is to deal with such situations at this age. Many followers expressed that they’ve been through similar moments when their periods were late, unsure if it was due to menopause or the possibility of pregnancy.
Why Pregnancy is Still Possible at 50
Many women believe that reaching 50 means their chances of getting pregnant are nearly gone, but according to doctors, pregnancy at this age is still possible. Dr. Sarita Naik, a gynaecologist at Hinduja Hospital, explains that women should not assume late periods are simply due to menopause. “Late periods could still be a sign of pregnancy, even at 50. It’s important to get tested and consult a doctor,” she advises.
What to Do if Your Periods Are Late After 50
Every woman’s menopause timing is different. While some women experience it in their early 40s, others don’t see changes until their 50s. If your periods are delayed and you’re unsure whether it’s menopause or pregnancy, it’s essential to take a pregnancy test or consult a gynaecologist to avoid unnecessary anxiety.
In Twinkle’s case, her video appears to have opened up an important conversation, encouraging women to share their experiences and not feel alone during this uncertain phase of life.
