Me: You know, we are so different that if we met at a party today, I don’t know if I would even talk to you.
Him: I would definitely talk to you.
Me: Why am I not surprised. So like what? You would ask me out?
Him: No, I would say, ‘Bhabhi ji, how is Bhai Sahab, kids fine? Ok Namaste."
On the eve of their wedding ceremony, Akshay had praised Twinkle for her latest column in a leading daily. Sharing the same on his Twitter handle and Instagram Stories, Akshay wrote, "I don’t comment too often on her column because I find it tough to understand the language Grimacing face But this one by @mrsfunnybones connected at a deeper level. “Happiness is not a pursuit, it is an accident.” So true, so profound."
Before getting married in 2001, Akshay and Twinkle had also acted opposite each other in two Hindi films - 'International Khiladi' and 'Zulmi'. Both the films performed poorly at the box office. The couple has two children - son Aarav, born in 2002, and daughter Nitara, born in 2012.
