In an exclusive interview with News 18, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has candidly shared his thoughts on an intriguing question linked to his upcoming movie, *Khel Khel Mein.* The film, set for a grand Independence Day release, revolves around a game that divulges hidden secrets in marriages, particularly by revealing the content of personal phones. When asked if he would be comfortable with his wife, author and actress Twinkle Khanna, checking his phone, the actor’s response was refreshingly open.
Akshay Kumar, renowned for his blockbuster hits and diverse roles, revealed that he has no reservations about Twinkle Khanna going through his phone. “I wouldn’t be scared if I had to show my phone to my partner,” Akshay asserted. “My phone lies around with my staff members. At home, it’s always lying around, charging. I’ve got nothing to hide.” His comments underline a level of transparency and trust in his marital relationship, a contrast to the potential tensions explored in *Khel Khel Mein.*
The film’s concept delves into the dynamics of marital trust through a game where friends and their spouses must share the contents of their phones—a modern-day Pandora’s box. The trailer hints at the ensuing drama and tension, as each character nervously anticipates the secrets their phones might reveal. Discussing the film’s intriguing premise, Akshay explained, “This game will be more fun than an outdoor game because outdoor games don’t give you the same kind of adrenaline rush. A phone game requires mental effort. You’ve got to be constantly on your toes, thinking about what to do next if your partner or friends have read your personal messages.”
Akshay’s level-headed approach to the hypothetical situation of Twinkle checking his phone might reflect his real-life comfort with such transparency. His statement suggests that he maintains an open-door policy concerning his private communications, a stance that might be less common in real-world scenarios, making it all the more noteworthy.
