This is why Akshay Kumar is seen making faces in his latest picture

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna are one of the power couples we have in Bollywood. The couple who share a friend-like equation with each other often share pictures of each other on the social media for their fans and Twinkle’s latest Instagram picture of Akshay is one such instances.

Taking to the picture sharing app, Twinkle shared a picture of her darling husband Akshay. Dressed in a black turtle neck t-shirt, Akshay can be seen making faces for reasons best known to him.

Explaining reason for the same, Twinkle captioned the click as, ‘A tip for Indian men:A black turtleneck can make most of you seem exponentially smarter-Just don’t ask the woman sitting on the other side of your granola what ‘exponentially’ means.Also it doesn’t help if you call the other person’Maha Pakau’when they give you the definition.’

On the work front, Akshay has his pockets full of projects which includes, ‘Kesari’, ‘Good News’ and ‘Housefull 4’.

When Twinkle Khanna wished Hema Malini was her mother and not Dimple Kapadia

Twinkle Khanna, the actress-turned-author, is known to not mince her words. She is one actress in Bollywood who has never shied away from speaking her mind and standing up for what she feels is right. The star wife recently opened up about the time she really wanted Hema Malini to be her mother and not Dimple Kapadia.

Twinkle, who has dedicated her latest book to her mother Dimple, said that she was surprised because she never really encouraged Twinkle in anything. According to the actress-cum-author she always picked faults in her.

Remembering an incident when her mother behaved just like that, she said that she was so pissed that she told her mother than there is no use of having her as mother and that she wished Hema Malini was her mother instead.

Well, we wonder what Dimple had to say about this one!

The Kumars at Juhu have a new star neighbour, Twinkle Khanna welcomes the actor with a hilarious tweet

Twinkle Khanna, the actor-turned-writer is known to speak her mind. Her hilarious observations and devil-may-care attitude, don’t go down well with some people, but the lady and her growing set of social media followers do not seem to care.
The mother of two recently shared a picture of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, spiritual leader and actor of the film ‘MSG: the Messenger’ along with the tweet, “Members of the original Monosodium fanclub @anvivud @RajaSen @tanuj_garg - @shrishtiarya and I are blessed-HE has moved into our hood!”
Interestingly, the saint-cum-actor has moved into the same palatial sea-facing building in Juhu that houses Hrithik Roshan, Sajid Nadiadwala besides Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. Well, we wonder how Babaji is going to react to Twinkle’s welcome message.

Twinkle Khanna is known to open conversations about issues prevalent in the Indian society, with her trademark humour. The actress, who often writes on topics like gender equality and women empowerment, shared a caricature of herself, wherein she is seen wearing a Superwoman cape and ironing the clothes.

Married not branded, asserts Twinkle Khanna

A certain Twitter user had a bone to pick with Twinkle Khanna – he questioned her choice to have not changed her surname from Khanna to Kumar after tying the knot with actor Akshay Kumar. The man, in a series of tweets, vociferously asked her to change her surname. The columnist-turned-author shared the screenshot of his tweets and wrote, “A lot of people bring this up,though not as stridently as this gentleman-Khanna it will always be #MarriedNotBranded”. We don’t think anyone will dare to ask her that question ever again.

Twinkle Khanna jokes about testicles and tentacles

When you converse with Twinkle Khanna, you better mind your language. The popular author has no tolerance for people with poor language skills (with good reason, we say). This tweet is a prime example of that. Taking a jibe at Turkish people, she wrote, “Turkish lady: No one safe ‘cause Putin has his testicles all over Turkey Me: Err..You mean tentacles? She: Yes Yes!Testicle-Tentacle same thing”.
