In an engaging look back at the lighter side of Bollywood, actor Akshay Kumar, largely known for his disciplined lifestyle and health-conscious image, once shared a charming revelation about his unique reaction to a bit of wine. The celebrity couple, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, have often captured the hearts of fans not just with their on-screen talents but also with their off-screen chemistry and camaraderie.
In an episode that now resurfaces in the form of nostalgia, the superstar Akshay Kumar graced the set of “10 Ka Dum,” hosted by another Bollywood stalwart, Salman Khan. Here, in a freewheeling chat, he divulged a hilarious habit—one that diverges from his usual routine—unveiling a lesser-known side to his multifaceted personality when he occasionally enjoys alcohol.
During this light-hearted conversation, which was part of a Reddit user’s now-deleted video post, Akshay admitted, “Main itni si wine pe leta hun to mujhe nasha aa jata hai (even if I drink little wine, I get drunk).” To which Salman quipped in solidarity, “Mujhe bhi (me too).” A round of laughter ensued as Akshay elaborated, remarking that while inebriation typically elicits laughter, singing, dancing, stumbling, or even anger in others, for him, it sparks his culinary skills. “Nashe mein log haste hai, gaate hai, gir jaate hai, gussa ho jaate hai, main khana banana shuru kar deta hun. Main apni aukaat pe aa jata hun,” he whimsically added, effectively surprising the studio audience, which included actress Katrina Kaif.
Reflecting on his journey, Akshay nostalgically recollected his days before the limelight, when he worked as a chef in a restaurant. It seems that the vinous influence reawakens his former professional instincts and leads him straight to the kitchen—a contrast to his sober discipline in health and fitness.
Entertainingly, he doesn’t just stop at cooking; Akshay takes a step further by ensuring his culinary creations are tasted by none other than his wife, Twinkle Khanna. Known for her quick wit and insightful writing, Twinkle often enjoys the fruits of her husband’s impromptu wine-inspired endeavors. “And I see to it that my wife eats what I make. I stand next to her and tell her to eat. I make paranthas,” Akshay noted proudly. In response to this surprising revelation, Salman commended Akshay’s cooking prowess, telling the audience about the variety of delectable dishes he prepares.
Away from the gleaming set lights and the camaraderie of chat shows, Twinkle Khanna continues to share heartwarming glimpses into her life with Akshay Kumar. In a recent Instagram post, Twinkle posted an endearing selfie accompanied by a caption that revealed the longevity and joy of their relationship: “After 20 years, he still makes me laugh on date night.” Here, in a candid shot, the couple’s comfortable and contented connection radiated through their smiles—Twinkle donning a makeup-free natural look and Akshay, ever charismatic in black.
The power couple’s ability to maintain such a loving and lighthearted relationship, often punctuated by these sincere and genuine moments, stands as an example of their bond that transcends their public persona. It’s a refreshing reminder that amidst the often tumultuous and high-pressure world of Bollywood, laughter, love, and a good homemade parantha can be the most grounding and delightful experiences.
