Wishing her hubby, Twinkle shared the following pic and adorably wrote on social media, “Sometimes when you don’t plan things - it all falls in place - Happy Birthday to my lovely Mr K ! #birthdaybumps”.
In fact, it’s also famous wedding planner, Gurleen Puri’s birthday today, who also happens to be Akshay and Twinkle’s good friend. Calling the two, ‘birthday twins’, Twinkle wished Gurleen on her Instagram handle and wrote, “Happy birthday to the twins! Mr K and my dearest friend @gurleenmpuri love you loads #happybirthday”.
Gurleen couldn’t hold back and shared a pic celebrating her and Akshay’s 51st birthday and beautifully captioned it, “Truly enjoy sharing my birthday with the amazing @akshaykumar. With warm wishes for health, happiness, and success @twinklerkhanna #happybirthday #akshaykumar #birthdaytwins”.
Coming back to Akshay, isn’t Twinkle’s post the most adorable birthday wish any husband could get from his wifey? For those who do not know, the two got married on January 7, 2001. Akshay has always been vocal about the immense amount of love he has for Twinkle. He was once quoted as saying, “The one idea that changed my life was the day I decided to get married to my wife”.

In another interview, he had 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”.
Sharing the most beautiful words for his wife, Akshay once revealed to the Hindustan Times, “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”.
And it’s not just Akshay who always speaks reverently about his wife. Even Twinkle once retorted to a media house, “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 since a year now (the interview was conducted in September 2014), but he still reads all my pieces before I submit them”.
