On Eid 2020, Twinkle had revealed what she associates the festival with and in remembrance of her late maternal grandmother, had written, "We rarely made biryani on Eid. Our treat was always Nani’s delicious Kichda and decorated envelopes with our Eidi. This year, our hearts and our table have too many empty spaces without her to fill it all up. #eidmubarak."

Twinkle Khanna tried her hands in embroidery after 20 years by recalling what she was taught in her childhood by her nani, Betty Kapadia. Engrossed in creating a sketch of the Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo with a pencil and then did backstitch embroidery to define the outline, Twinkle posted a video of the same on her social media handles. Sharing her artwork, Twinkle wrote, "While growing up in my Grandmother’s house, we all learnt to paint, sew and knit. After twenty years I am trying my hand at embroidery again, struggling but trying. I can still hear my Nani’s voice echoing in my head, ‘Tina, don’t do untidy work.’" Twinkle has also tweeted, "It’s also calming. The moving hands, working towards a small accomplishment instead of focusing on all the big things that can’t be tackled right now."
When Twinkle Khanna's friend, Sabishi Shankar commented, "Your nani would be so happy to see u do this! Loved her passion for craft, her crochet bags are too funky!!!" she has replied, "@sabishishankar I was thinking about you this evening. I got her things over today and now I have at least 100 balls of wool and over 30 crochet needles. When things get better come and take a whole load."
