Akshay Kumar has always been vocal about his better half, Twinkle Khanna, being his most trenchant critic. He recently opened up about the person whose opinion matters most to him, and it turns out to be none other than his wife, Twinkle. During a candid conversation while promoting his upcoming film Welcome To The Jungle, the actor shared how Twinkle’s brutally honest feedback keeps him grounded, both professionally and personally.
Akshay Kumar Calls Wife Twinkle Khanna Life’s Toughest Critic
During a recent Bombay Times Lounge interview, Akshay Kumar was asked about his toughest critic, and he didn’t hesitate before naming his “better half.” Describing Twinkle’s reviews of his work, he said with a laugh, “She’s brutal. Brutal means brutal is nothing. She can kill me anytime. You can’t say anything.”
The actor then recalled a recent incident that left him genuinely thrilled. Akshay revealed that while he was dubbing for another film, he received an unexpected message from Twinkle praising the trailer of his upcoming project. “I told Priyadarshan sir, ‘Today I’m very happy.’ He asked me why, and I said, ‘My wife has sent me a message saying she loved the trailer,’” Akshay shared. The actor called it a rare moment of praise from Twinkle.
According to him, Twinkle is known for her unfiltered opinions. She never hesitates to tell him exactly what she thinks about his films. “These messages don’t come often,” Akshay admitted. “I’ve done many films, and when she watches them, she goes straight to saying, ‘What is this?’” The actor’s humorous confession drew laughter.
Akshay further revealed that even when a film performs well at the box office despite Twinkle’s criticism, she remains unconvinced and sticks to her opinion. Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna often share glimpses of their honest and playful relationship.
