It was in 2000, when Twinkle Khanna and Aamir Khan starrer Mela had flopped at the box-office and it had changed both Twinkle’s personal and professional lives. Mela’s success was a deciding factor for Twinkle whether she would get married to the handsome actor, Akshay Kumar. And as destiny would have it, Twinkle and Akshay had gotten married in 2001 in a private ceremony and after finishing a few projects, she had bid adieu to acting. Together, this couple has weaved a beautiful nest with their children, Aarav and Nitara. Twinkle can defeat anyone with her wit and humour, a trait she had gotten from her mother, Dimple Kapadia.

So my mother says, ‘I have to tell you something.’ So, I said tell me. ‘No, no after he goes.’ But when I insisted, she said that one of our friends was doing a piece on a gay newspaper says that Akshay is gay. So, I almost fainted.” Then Dimple Kapadia had kept a condition before Akshay and Twinkle, “You both live together for one year and then we’ll see."

In the same blogpost, Twinkle had shared her birthday memory and had written, "Our summers were spent in Kashmir and I can’t recall what we did in the winters, but I do remember our birthdays I would sit on the stairs; the December air sometimes cool enough to wear a sweater and watch the trucks filled with flowers entering the gate. They were of course, for him, but all eight, I thought they were for my birthday."
