In a heartfelt interview with Hindustan Times, Akshay Kumar referred to Twinkle as his “best friend” and expressed profound appreciation for her role in his life. He stated, “Tina (Twinkle) is my best friend. My wife is the best person any man could wish to wake up next to. She holds me up when I’m falling, and puts me down when I’m flying. She makes me laugh when I’m sad and moans when I am sitting idle. Tina is everything to me. She is my reality check.”

Twinkle Khanna, reciprocating the love, praised Akshay Kumar parenting skills on Father’s Day.

Happy Father’s Day to a man who always puts his family ahead of himself.

On the occasion of Twinkle’s book launch last year, Akshay Kumar took to social media to express his pride, writing, “Proud, prouder, proudest. That’s how you always make me feel, whether it’s to take up writing, going back to the university in your 40’s or just defying age and norms every chance you get. And today as you launch your new book, #WelcomeToParadise I just know it will add inches to my already big chest. Congratulations Tina @mrsfunnybones.”

On our fifth date, I told him, ‘I would never marry someone like you.’ He instantly replied,’ I don’t remember asking you.’ I was so impressed with that line. It’s been over two decades and we have built a life that encompasses two children, our extended families, work, friends, dogs, independence and stability.’

As for what he has written in the card: I don’t know if I have the wisdom of a queen but the man does have the patience of a saint and most importantly, a heart of gold. You don’t have to be alike to make it work, you just have to like each other enough.”

Twinkle shared their conversation, emphasizing Akshay Kumar compassionate spirit, stating, “The man makes me proud.
