Akshay Kumar Often talked about his wife, writer and former actor Twinkle Khanna Like chalk and cheese. They are very different from each other and the actor also says that he is her harshest critic. The actor recently opened up about it while promoting his upcoming film ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ and revealed that anyone’s opinion doesn’t carry weight for him like Twinkle’s opinion. Akshay was asked who is the most honest critic of his work? Without missing a beat, he pointed to his wife and described her reviews as mercilessly candid.“He’s brutal. Brutal doesn’t mean brutal. He can kill me anytime. You can’t say anything,” laughed Akshay in an interview with Bombay Times Lounge. The actor then shared a rare moment that made him particularly happy. While dubbing for another project, he received an unexpected message from Twinkle who praised the trailer of his upcoming film.“I told Priyadarshan sir, ‘I am very happy today.’ He asked me why, and I said, ‘My wife sent me a message saying she liked the trailer,'” shared Akshay.Akshay said compliments from his wife Twinkle are few and far between, which is why the message means so much to him. “These messages don’t come often,” admits Akshay. “I’ve done a lot of films, and when he sees them, he immediately says, ‘What is this?'”While the candid confession elicited laughter from the audience, Akshay also explained that Twinkle never sugarcoats her opinion, regardless of how successful a film is. Even when a movie does well at the box office, if he doesn’t like it, he stays with his original rating.Over the years, Akshay and Twinkle have often given fans a glimpse of their relationship through interviews, public appearances and social media, often displaying their trademark mix of honesty, humor and playful banter.On the work front, Akshay is gearing up for the release of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, the latest installment of the popular ‘Welcome’ franchise.
