Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna are one of the power couples of Bollywood. They are no less than SRK and Gauri Khan in setting couple goals. Well, it is not unknown to anyone that Twinkle Khanna is the daughter of the late legendary actor, Rajesh Khanna. She was a top actress in her time, and you would be shocked to know that Akshay Kumar had never imagined that he would tie the knot with her. Akshay Kumar opened up about the same in an old interview.
In an interview with Sansad TV, Akshay Kumar once shared how he often visited Rajesh Khanna’s office in order to grab some opportunities. At that time, he never thought he would be lucky enough to marry the latter’s daughter. Even the celebrity mehendi artist, Veena Nagda, who was there for the mehendi ceremony of Akshay and Twinkle, once said that the couple’s wedding came as a surprise to everyone. In Akshay Kumar’s words:
“Maine kabhi zindagi mein bhi nahin socha tha ki Rajesh Khanna ji ki beti se meri shaadi hogi. Kabhi nahin socha tha. Main unke office mein jaaya karta tha photo leke sir mujhe koi kaam dedo.”
Known as the original ‘Khiladi’ of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar entered the industry as an outsider. He achieved success on his own, and now, his stardom is unbeatable. On the other hand, his wife, Twinkle Khanna, is the daughter of famous celebrity couple, Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. She is a renowned writer, and the husband-wife team is counted among the power couples of B-Town. Not just this, their love story was based on the box-office success of the movie, Mela.
Although the duo first met during a magazine shoot, their love story started on the sets of International Khiladi. Akshay Kumar once revealed that he was the first one to develop a crush on the actress. According to the Welcome actor, Twinkle promised to marry him if her film, Mela fails to woo the audience. Hence, when the movie witnessed a poor box-office collection, the couple tied the knot.

True to his title, his name was linked to many top actresses including Raveena Tandon, Shilpa Shetty, Pooja Batra, Ayesha Julka and more. However, out of all the affairs, his fling with Raveena Tandon bagged more spotlight than others. When the duo co-starred in the film, Mohra, they instantly became friends and started dating.
