Twinkle and Akshay got married in 2001 and they have two kids, Aarav and Nitara. She had earlier said that their relationship started as a fling. She had just gotten out of a long relationship and wasn’t ready for a commitment. However, the two fell in love and eventually tied the knot.

In an old interview with Hindustan Times, Akshay talked about Twinkle and said, “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 to me. She is my reality check.”

Twinkle, in her witty style, had written on their 22nd wedding anniversary. “On our fifth date, I told him, ‘I would never marry someone like you.’ He instantly replied,’ I don’t remember asking you.’ I was so impressed with that line.”

She continued, “It’s been over two decades and we have built a life that encompasses two children, our extended families, work, friends, dogs, independence and stability.’ As for what he has written in the card: I don’t know if I have the wisdom of a queen but the man does have the patience of a saint and most importantly, a heart of gold. You don’t have to be alike to make it work, you just have to like each other enough.”
