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. Sharing a shirtless photo of Akshay Kumar, she wrote, “Some of the reasons for marrying Mr. K revolved around knowing he would be a great father after watching him deal with his family, the other was the hope that my future children inherit some of his fine genes. And looking at him in his fifties, I would say that his children are lucky if they have inherited half of their genetic material from him. 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.”
Twinkle, in turn, acknowledged Akshay Kumar enduring qualities on their 22nd wedding anniversary. Sharing a heartfelt note along with a card from Akshay Kumar, she revealed, “Only he could have found the perfect card! 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.
