New Delhi: Former actor and author, Twinkle Khanna and actor Akshay Kumar are like chalk and cheese when it comes to their personalities, especially when it comes to speaking the English language. While she is adept at it, Akshay would rather express himself in Hindi and has said so on public platforms.
But that’s exactly what has made their marriage work for 22 years. The couple celebrates more than two decades of togetherness today. And the secret behind the success of their marriage is that they are not alike. And like Twinkle said, they need not be.
She penned down a note of appreciation for her husband Akshay Kumar on their 22nd wedding anniversary by posting a glimpse of a card picked by Akshay for her and recalled how she once told him that she would never marry him. It was Akshay’s response to her which actually won her heart on their fifth date. Twinkle shared a small video clip in which Twinkle and Akshay are seen holding hands and walking in the dark. It seems to be an outdoor area, which was decorated with blue fairy lights. A glimpse of Akshay’s handwritten card was also included in the video.
In the card, Akshay wrote, “Did we end up doing well?” He said that their relationship has been a success owing to his patience and further called Twinkle ‘queen.’ The card featured a cartoon which was named Tina, Twinkle’s nickname.
Sharing the video, Twinkle captioned it, “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. #bestfriends #behindthescenes,” she further added.
A few minutes after Twinkle posted the video, she deleted it. Later, she shared photographs of the same card gifted by Akshay alongside a photo of them. In the caption, she ditched lines about their 5th date.
