Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar: A Love Story Built on Respect and Admiration
Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar have shared a marriage lasting over twenty years, highlighting a bond strengthened by love, respect, and mutual admiration.
Twinkle Khanna Birthday: Renowned for her multifaceted talents, Twinkle Khanna has transitioned from being a film actress to a successful author, columnist, designer, and film producer. In addition to her various professional endeavors, she is a dedicated partner to Akshay Kumar, with whom she has been married for more than two decades.
As she celebrates her 51st birthday on December 29, let us reflect on her remarkable journey with Akshay Kumar.
Their evolution from an on-screen duo to real-life partners is a blend of charm, affection, and serendipity. While their love might appear fairy-tale-like today, their beginnings were quite different.

During a candid discussion on Karan Johar’s talk show, Twinkle shared that their relationship initially started as a brief fling.
“I had recently exited a long-term relationship and wanted to experience a fling. He was there, ‘6 feet of chocolate ice-cream’, and I thought, why not?” she recounted.
However, what began as a casual encounter soon developed into a deeper connection. Even as their relationship blossomed, the notion of marriage seemed distant until a surprising bet altered their course.
Curious about how that unfolded?
The couple’s decision to marry came after Twinkle jokingly promised Akshay that she would tie the knot with him if the film Mela did poorly at the box office.
Elaborating on the bet, Akshay remarked, “Twinkle was quite confident about the movie, declaring that if it didn’t succeed, she would marry me. As fate would have it, Mela flopped, and we got married.”
Mela premiered in 2000, and just a year later, on January 17, 2001, the couple exchanged vows in a simple yet elegant ceremony hosted at the home of renowned designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
Today, they are celebrated as a powerful couple in the Bollywood landscape. Their marriage welcomed the birth of their son Aarav in 2002, followed by their daughter Nitara in 2012.
At present, Twinkle has forged a successful writing career with a number of acclaimed books, while Akshay remains a dominant force in the industry, continuing to captivate audiences as one of the most in-demand actors.
As we mark this special occasion, we extend warm wishes to Twinkle Khanna on her birthday!
