A dedication to Twinkle

At the launch of music of Special 26- he even dedicated a song for her that he sang himself and he feels very lucky to have her by his side. In one of the interviews with Filmfare, he mentioned that Twinkle has always been a strength for him and said,

“Twinkle has not only added to my wardrobe but also to my bank balance. I was a scattered person; she is the one who has put me together. After marriage, she has kind of raised me (Laughs). On a serious note, whenever I’ve broken down she’s given me emotional support.”

In one of his interviews with HT, Akshay also shared,

“Tina (Twinkle) is my best friend. My wife is the best person any man could wish to wake up next to. She holds me up when I’m falling, and puts me down when I’m flying. She makes me laugh when I’m sad, and moans when I am sitting idle. Tina is everything for me. She is my reality check.”

Twinkle isn’t less when it comes to praising her husband. In an interview, she said,

“He really believes in my capabilities as a person and that gave me a lot of confidence to switch jobs. Even today, if I do something new, he ensures he is a part of it. For instance, I have been writing a weekly column in a newspaper for a year now (the interview was conducted in September 2014), but he still reads all my pieces before I submit them.”

Twinkle also mentioned something interesting about Akshay in one of her interviews,

“Akshay’s idea of a romantic date is a six-kilometre jog, followed by 500 crunches… TOGETHER! Eeeeks!”

She added,

“It drives me nuts how he has sneakily and steadily wormed his way into becoming my best friend. I like him more now than when I married him!”

“Am I allowed to say it feels as good as it did when I turned 21 (laughs)? I’m really enjoying the fact that I have not only reached 50 alive but also feeling positive about my career, blessed for my health and over the moon with how I’m spending my big 50 on the Swiss Alps with my family.”

Further Akshay talked about the resolutions he has taken after he turned 50,

“I’ve promised my son more adventurous holidays. I’ve promised my wife that I’d chew my food more. I’ve promised my daughter I’ll stay strong so I can carry her up every mountain her brother wants to climb, and I’ve promised my coach that I’m not going give up — turning 50 means 50 reps of everything, apparently.”
