December 29, 2024: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar shared a sweet and playful birthday tribute to his wife Twinkle Khanna on her 51st birthday, highlighting the many layers of her personality. The actor posted an adorable, edited video on Instagram that captured the two contrasting sides of Twinkle’s character.
The video began with the caption, “What everyone thinks my wife is like…” and showed Twinkle sitting gracefully in a chair, enjoying the sun with a book and a cozy setup, giving off a calm and serene vibe. But the tone quickly shifted as the words “But what she’s really like” appeared on the screen, followed by a vibrant clip of Twinkle joyfully dancing in green pants and a black shirt, fully embracing her lively and energetic side.
Akshay accompanied the video with a heartfelt message that read:
“Happy Birthday, Tina. You’re not just a sport; you’re the whole game. I’ve learned so much from you—how to laugh until my stomach hurts (and you’re almost always the reason for it), how to sing my heart out when a favorite song plays on the radio, and how to dance just because I feel like it. Tere varga sach mein hor koi na.”
This touching tribute resonated with fans and followers, many of whom flooded the comment section with birthday wishes for Twinkle. Among them were several Bollywood celebrities who also extended their good wishes, including Diana Penty, Nargis Fakhri, and Arjun Kapoor.
The couple, who tied the knot on January 17, 2001, are parents to two children: Aarav, their son, and Nitara, their daughter, who was born in 2012.
Beyond her film career, Twinkle has made a significant mark as a writer. After quitting acting in 2001, she ventured into writing and released her debut book, “Mrs Funnybones” in 2015. She followed it up with an anthology, “The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad” (2017), and “Pyjamas Are Forgiving” (2018). In 2023, she published “Welcome to Paradise” and recently won the Crossword Book Award 2024 in the Popular Fiction category.
In a funny twist, Akshay also congratulated Twinkle in his own signature humorous style after she won the Crossword award. He posted a lighthearted Instagram story saying, “My trophy wife literally. But she earns her own accolades. So proud of my Crossword Popular Choice Award winner.”
Twinkle’s humor, charm, and authenticity continue to shine through in both her personal and professional life, making her a beloved figure not just in the film industry but also in the literary world.
