AKSHAY KUMAR AND TWINKLE KHANNA-MARRIED 2001

Considering Akshay’s many (and well-reported) affairs, few people expected his Twinkle liaison to lead up to the altar. But Akshay was finally ready to settle down and Twinkle too had had enough of the glamor of films and craved marriage. Their 2001 marriage has proved remarkably lucky for both.

For Akshay, marriage has coincided with an astronomical rise in his career. And for Twinkle too, giving up on films post marriage has proved to be a good career decision. She is a modern achiever with a flourishing furnishing business, and a truly exclusive clientele.

On a personal level too, they are, to all appearances, the golden couple. Rumours of Akshay’s dalliances are now increasingly rare, the couple have their son Aarav to dote on and the duo is known to holiday together in exotic locations like Spain.

Akshay-Twinkle’s films together — Zulmi, International Khiladi — may have all flopped, but their marriage seems a different story.
