Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s love story is an all-time favourite for Bollywood fans. Together they make a hit combination and their love story is nothing less than a Bollywood movie. While Akshay Kumar is the most loved self-made superstar of B-Town, on the other hand, his glamourous wife and former Bollywood actress, Twinkle Khanna is a renowned writer.
A marriage proposal that was dependent on the box-office result of a film had decided for Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s future. When Mela (2000) had turned out to be a flop, it had changed the life of Bollywood’s Khiladi Kumar, Akshay. When Akshay had asked Twinkle to marry him, she told him she would marry him if Mela wouldn’t work. And fortunately for him, the film didn’t work and Akshay and Twinkle had got married on January 17, 2001, amidst a gathering of just 50 odd people, and that too, in just two hours. A glimpse of their beautiful relationship was seen from the visual representation of their married life from time to time.

In an interview posted on her Tweak India YouTube channel, she shared this astonishing fact and said:
“Before I met my husband, that astrologer told him (Rajesh Khanna) and he told me, You will marry Akshay Kumar. And I was like, Who?”
Twinkle Khanna, daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, also added to her astonishment that after marriage she went to visit the astrologer with her father. She was not a believer in astrology and merely she used to ask people about things related to her career goals. But even after she was involved in the fashion business, her astrologer mentioned she would become a writer. She was amazed to listen to this as she hadn’t written anything for the last few years. Later on, Twinkle Khanna had become a successful author, releasing three of her books so far.
