The renowned Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is often discussed for his films. His personal life is also quite content. Akshay and his wife Twinkle are the parents of two lovely children, Aarav and Nitara Kumar. The marriage of Akshay and Twinkle, which took place 24 years ago, is surrounded by an interesting anecdote.
Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, born on September 9, 1967, in Amritsar, Punjab, is commonly known as Akshay Kumar. Today, he celebrates his 58th birthday. He began his career as a lead actor with the film ‘Saugandh,’ released in 1991. He married Twinkle Khanna approximately a decade into his career. Before Akshay and Twinkle’s wedding, Akshay’s mother-in-law, Dimple Kapadia, had a condition that had to be met before the marriage could proceed.
What was the condition set before Akshay and Twinkle’s wedding?
Years ago, on Karan Johar’s show ‘Koffee with Karan,’ Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna were guests. During the show, Twinkle revealed that when she told her father, Rajesh Khanna, that she wanted to marry Akshay, a lot of scrutiny followed. Akshay even said his mother-in-law had considered him ‘gay’ and therefore requested Akshay and Twinkle to live together.
Rajesh Khanna also agreed with this. Dimple Kapadia’s condition was that they live together. If after two years of living together, both felt they should marry, then they would. Following this, Akshay and Twinkle lived together in a Mumbai apartment for nearly two years before agreeing to marriage. Akshay and Twinkle were married on January 17, 2001.
