Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar, the cherished Bollywood couple known for their 23-year marriage despite their contrasting personalities and relentless media attention, continue to captivate fans with their enduring bond. Their relationship is marked by love and laughter, with Twinkle’s sharp wit and Akshay’s candid nature contributing to their charm.
In a recent blog posted on The Times of India’s website on August 11, 2024, Twinkle shared an amusing anecdote involving her husband. The blog, titled ‘Haathi & Saathi: What Animals Can Teach Us About Love, Shuv, Shaadi,’ recounts an experience from a recent holiday. During a wilderness tour, their guide introduced them to a pair of birds named Tik-Tik, known for their profound connection. The guide revealed that when one bird dies, the other consumes poisonous grass, choosing to die alongside its partner.
Inspired by this poignant story, Twinkle playfully questioned Akshay about whether he would remarry or choose the “poisonous grass” if she were to pass away first. With characteristic humor, she warned Akshay that should he remarry, she would come back from the afterlife to haunt him and his new wife.
Akshay’s response to this hypothetical scenario was equally humorous. He claimed that he would be ready to consume the “poisonous grass” immediately, suggesting that it would save him from having to answer Twinkle’s hypothetical questions about his plans if she were to die first.
