Twinkle Khanna, the renowned actress turned author, recently gave her fans a delightful glimpse into her family holiday with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and their children, Aarav and Nitara. Known for sharing amusing snapshots and moments from her life on social media, Twinkle’s latest post on Instagram is another heartwarming anecdote of family fun and togetherness. The brief video she shared highlights a whimsical moment, showing Akshay and Twinkle engaging in a playful walk that quickly turns into a dance, much to the amusement, or perhaps embarrassment, of their children.
Posted on Friday, Twinkle’s video reveals the couple in an undisclosed location, enjoying some downtime away from the bustling city life. What stands out in the video is the couple’s carefree and jovial demeanor as they walk side by side with arms around each other’s waists. Their steps appear to break into a coordinated little dance, adding a spark of spontaneity to their stroll. Meanwhile, Aarav and Nitara, their children, walk beside them with a more composed and seemingly unamused manner.
Accompanying the video, Twinkle humorously captioned, “Why walk when you can dance? The added benefit? A chance to embarrass your kids. But let’s face it, once they hit their teenage years, just your existence is enough to mortify them. What’s your go-to move for embarrassing your kids?” The lighthearted post not only encapsulates Twinkle’s playful nature but also resonates with many parents who find themselves in similar situations with their teenage children. Her words play on the universal theme of parental embrace of quirks that eventually embarrass their growing kids—a situation many relate to with a smile.
Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar, married since 2001, have been known for their vibrant personalities and down-to-earth approach to life, despite being in the limelight. Their relationship, which blossomed during the shooting of the films ‘International Khiladi’ and ‘Zulmi’ in 1999, continues to charm their fans. Their approach to life is often reflected in the candid moments Twinkle shares through her social media channels.

This is not the first time Twinkle and Akshay have entertained their fans with their charming antics on vacation. Just a few months ago, another video posted on Twinkle’s account went viral. It featured the couple immersed in the culture and rhythms of Tanzania. In this particular video, the couple joined a local dance troupe and participated in the ‘Ritunga’—a traditional dance that they attempted with sincere enthusiasm and humor.
Akshay, dressed in a casual green pajama and black t-shirt ensemble, along with Twinkle, in a khaki shirt and denim pants, are seen matching steps with the locals. The dance, filled with energy and laughter, is a testament to their willingness to embrace new experiences and immerse themselves in different cultures. Twinkle describes this joyous experience in her post stating, “Moving our feet and massaging our souls,” expressing the bliss found in dancing their hearts out. She elaborated on the cultural immersion, giving a shoutout to ‘Omahe’, the local group they danced with. Twinkle also playfully engaged her followers by asking, “Who do you think danced better, Mr. K or I? When was the last time you danced your heart out? Let me know in the comments below.”
Such moments shared by Twinkle and Akshay offer a refreshing look at the couple away from the cinematic world, bringing forth the essence of their personal lives filled with humor, love, and a zest for life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst their busy schedules, they prioritize family and create memorable experiences together, often sprinkled with humor and slight self-deprecation.
In the ever-busy realm of Bollywood, Twinkle and Akshay’s willingness to take a step back and enjoy life’s simple pleasures, be it through spontaneous dances or engaging with local cultures, continues to inspire their fans. These snippets from their life provide a window into their relationship, highlighting their commitment not only to each other but also to creating a joyful and loving environment for their children.
