Bollywood's beloved action star Akshay Kumar once again proved that his sense of humour is as sharp as his on-screen kicks, this time turning it towards his wife, author and former actress Twinkle Khanna, on her birthday. The actor shared a side-splitting social media post that perfectly encapsulates their playful and witty relationship, sending fans into a frenzy.
A Playful Punch Packed With Love
Instead of a conventional birthday message, Akshay Kumar chose to highlight Twinkle Khanna's formidable personality. He posted a sweet yet action-packed picture where Twinkle is seen mid-kick, with Akshay holding her leg in the air. Accompanying the image was a caption filled with his trademark wit and affection.
"Behind every action hero is a wife who can knock him out with one look or one kick," Akshay wrote. He added, "Mrs. Funnybones, you still hit me harder than any stunt ever did. Happy Birthday, love you." The post quickly went viral, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding the comments section to appreciate the couple's adorable and hilarious dynamic.
A Marriage Built on Laughter
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna have been setting couple goals for over two decades. The duo tied the knot on January 17, 2001, and are proud parents to their son Aarav and daughter Nitara. Their social media interactions are frequently celebrated for showcasing a relationship grounded in mutual respect, sharp humour, and evident warmth.
Twinkle, fondly known as 'Mrs. Funnybones' after her successful book, often matches Akshay's playful jabs with her own clever comebacks, making their bond a fan favourite.
